"So when we were finally alone, a bit drunkily, I bursted into tears opening up to her on what was on my mind for a while and during that day."

"I also opened up on how seriously terrified I was that one day she would just abandon me for whatever reason."

"I guess it was also her empathy and the fact that she saw me cry that made her cry as well at that point, and told me that she had the same fear and that she could never abandon me because she loves and cares about me too much to ever do such a thing."

"We ended up talking for hours that night, and the day after she made sure I was okay."
