"Why does he not know any of this?"
"He had a troubled past, him and his brother were beaten and neglected as children until they were sent to the orphanage and not too much later, adopted. So he never liked to dwell on serious matters, except one. And with all my time that I spent cheering him up, I never realized that the one serious matter he wanted to look into was our, me and his, relationship."
Ivan nodded, "That's horribleā¦he should've told you beforehand what the problem was before running off with some other girl and leaving you heartbroken."
You nodded, "I know, but gosh I must really be pathetic for not realizing it though. I'm a girl; I'm supposed to see these things."
"No, you're not pathetic; you were just blinded by love and the devotion you had to keep him happy. I think that's very sweet and thoughtful." He paused and then said, "Did you develop into a funny person with a love of childish things because your parents were gone and you not only had to cheer yourself up, but you grew up to fast and feel the need to have those kinds of things in you life?"
You thought about while looking up at the ceiling then looked at him, "You know, I never thought about it in that way, but you may just be onto something there. It does explain everything. Geez, are you trying to get a degree in psychology?" You teased.
