Jane thought he can't possible love me, he only loves because either thinks I am Deb or that he can't have me. So she told him, "Love me, Grayson, You don't love me, either love me because you think that I something that I am not, or that you can't have me now that I am with Owen."

Grayson sighed, as he wasn't going to lie, "Jane, yes I am sorry, for loving you now you are with a great like Owen, and you may display some attributes like a Deb, but that is not the main reason I love you, I love you because you are my best friend, the only person I can be truly myself with. I love the way you light the room when you smile, I love the fact you like doing crossword puzzles, I admire your pursuit for justice in the law, you are most compassionate woman I ever met, and admire your beauty inside and out. You are my second chance Jane, and I am wasting 3 years in figure that now, but I understand that is confession might not make a difference all I want for you is to be happy. So I am going to leave it at that."
