Thanks for all the reviews! Once again I had tons of feedback from chapter 20! It is greatly appreciated! Keep it up please!

Authors note: I have officially finished writing my version of season 1 and am starting on season 2. I will be the first to admit that I didn't LoVe season 2..for obvious reasons (don't get me wrong it was still a wonderful season, there just wasn't enough LoVe.) I'm having a hard time getting started. So I was wondering…is there anything you all would like to have happen? I can't guarantee that it will be included, but I need some ideas. I've had my stroke of genius for the main storylines. I just need supplemental ones to get me through to end of season 2. Anything will help! Thanks in advance.

In other news….this is a chapter many of you have been looking forward to. The end has come for Veronica and Casey.

I don't own Veronica Mars.

Casey's Lament

Logan

You know you're really are in love when you spend two hours holding a girl's hair back while she empties the contents of her stomach and yet you still would love nothing more than to kiss her.

Well, after she brushes her teeth and uses a gallon of mouthwash that is.

And I must say, for such a tiny thing, she sure does seem to have a large stomach. It really just proves my hollow leg theory.

When she was finally done praying to the porcelain god, she tried to stand up and promptly passed out. Luckily, I was expecting it and I caught her.

I cleaned her up a little and then I took her back to the bed and laid her underneath the covers before getting into bed with her.

When she woke up a little while later, she tried to sit up but the room started spinning. "Oh my god, Logan make it stop."

I pushed her back down onto her back and covered her eyes with my hand. "I would if I could baby."

"Oh, I'm never drinking again."

I laughed. "I don't believe that. But maybe you should consider drinking a little less next time. I'm amazed that you don't have alcohol poisoning considering how much you drank."

"I didn't drink that much."

I was lightly stroking her arm trying to sooth her as we talked. "Ronnie, you drank more than half a bottle. There's a big difference between champagne and hard alcohol. You're too small to drink that much. It's not safe."

She moved my hand from her eyes and glared at me. "Killjoy."

I smiled "Maybe, but it's only because I care."

I moved to get up but she grabbed my hand and pulled me back down on top of her again. "Where are you going? Don't leave me."

"I'll be right back. I'm gonna go and get you some crackers and water." I leaned down kissed her forehead and removed myself from her body. Which I really needed to do because lying on her like that was beginning to wake up my second brain and that would not have been good.

Because...

A. She was in no condition.

B. She was still with Casey.

C. I didn't want her first time to be while she was drunk.

And

D. She still wasn't ready and I knew that.

She let go of my hand and watched me walk away. "Hurry back please."

I turned around and smiled. "All the My Little Ponies in the world couldn't keep me away."

She blushed. "Fuck."

"You forgot to put it back in your room. Not like it mattered though." I'd found it two months earlier when I was looking for one of her shoes, I just never said anything. I thought it was cute. The big bad Veronica Mars with a My Little Pony DVD. "I have to say I find it funny that you hid it where most guys hide porn. Don't worry V, your secret is safe with me."

She stopped me again before I walked out the door. "Speaking of things we have been hiding from each other…does the number 13 mean anything to you?" She was smiling viciously.

Fuck. "Um, so Mac told you?"

"Yep. Why didn't you just tell me the truth Logan?"

I really hadn't wanted her to know and I especially didn't want her to know now. She's been painfully aware of my indiscretions for years, but she didn't know just how bad I'd been. "I didn't want you to think less of me."

She smiled again. "I never could Logan. That score doesn't change who you are and besides, you should know by now that none of that bothers me anyways. Would I share a bed with you if it did?"

I smiled back. That's good to know. "No, I guess you wouldn't. I'll be right back."

I went downstairs to find Casey and Wallace each lying on a couch half asleep, they heard me coming and sat up.

"Hey guys, sorry."

Casey stretched a little. "How's V?"

"She's definitely been better, but she'll be ok after she gets some sleep. How's Mac?"

"About the same, Dick is with her. I left because she kept passing out and Dick got worried so he drug her into the shower to wake her up."

I laughed. "Oh yeah, I'm sure it was just to wake her up."

Casey smiled. "Hey, that's what he said. It's none of my business."

I looked at Wallace then. "What about Meg?"

"Dude, I made it five minutes and had to leave, I have a very sensitive gag reflex. Last I checked she'd passed out on top of Luke and he didn't bother to move her."

"Don't you mean he didn't want to?"

"Dude, like Casey said, none of my business."

"Well, why don't you guys go get some sleep, that's what I'm gonna try to do. You know there are like 5 guest rooms take your pick."

"Thanks man."

"Yeah thanks."

I walked to the kitchen grabbed a few bottles of water and a box of saltines and went back to my room.

When I got there Ronnie wasn't on the bed, I started to panic and then she walked, or I guess more like stumbled, out of the bathroom.

I ran over to her and picked her up. "What are you doing?"

She was definitely still a little drunk. "Brushing my teeth. Is that ok?"

"Oh, yeah. Actually it's a good thing, you really needed to do that."

She smacked my arm. "Shut up."

When I got to the bed I sat down with her still in my arms. "Stomach or back?"

She gave me a mischievous look. "If I say stomach do I get a back rub?"

I smiled thinking that I'd rub anything she's willing to let me rub. "You can have anything you want."

She smiled. "Stomach."

I laid her on the bed under the covers, climbed in next to her and then I watched in shock as she turned away from me, sat up and took her tank top off. She laid back down on her stomach and turned her head to me.

I was pretty sure I was drooling. She'd had her back to me, but when she laid back down I got more than a glimpse of her naked upper half.

I must have sat there for too long staring at her because she spoke to regain my attention. "Do I get a back rub or what?"

"Oh, yeah, sorry."

I spent the next twenty minutes moving my hands up and down her bare back. It was literally killing me and I was pretty sure my dick hated me, but I pulled through it. Barely...

When I was done, I totally expected her to put her shirt back on but she didn't, instead she rolled onto her side and pulled me down behind her. She covered my hand with hers and she pulled it over her resting it on her bare stomach.

She really is trying to kill me I thought. Fuck, just breath Logan, just breath. "Uh Ronnie, shouldn't you put your shirt back on?"

"I don't feel like it." She said sleepily. "Will you do it for me?"

I almost said no, because I really didn't want to. But I knew I should, so I leaned over her and grabbed it.

I rolled her over onto her back and found myself only inches from heaven, I had to physically stop myself from touching her. I pulled her arms up and slid the fabric over them and over her head. I'd had to pull her up more to pull it all the way down her body and when I did, her nipples grazed my forearm and my dick did the leap frog jump again. When the shirt was back on I laid her back down and we resumed our previous position.

"Thanks."

"It was my pleasure." In more ways than one I thought.

When I was positive she was asleep, I sat up, brushed the hair from her face, leaned in and kissed her. And as I went to lay back down I whispered in her ear. "I love you, Veronica."

Veronica

When I finally woke up 8 hours later, I felt like the badger I had killed the day before. In other words, not good. I'm never drinking vodka again.

Logan was still pressed up behind me with his arms around me and his head was resting in the crook of my neck.

I rolled around in his arms waking him up and he opened his eyes, smiled and pulled me in closer. "How are you feeling?"

"Ughh. Does that answer your question?"

He smiled. "Why yes, it does. Hey V, where is your car?"

Oh shit. I forgot that he didn't know. "Well… we had a little accident yesterday."

Logan sat straight up. "What? Are you ok!" He frantically pulled the covers off and started inspecting my body for damage.

I laughed and grabbed his hands. "Yes Logan, I'm fine. The car's not, but we are."

He was still sitting up with a worried expression on his face. "What happened?"

I smiled. This was gonna be fun. "Well, Mac decided to tell us while I was driving about a fairly personal issue. I wasn't looking at the road and a badger ran out in front of me, I swerved and then I over corrected, hit the badger and did a 180 right into the ditch."

He still wasn't smiling. "You swerved to miss a badger?"

"Yes."

And then he started to laugh. "Isn't that like the 15th small animal you've taken out since you got your license?"

"Hey, its not my fault, they just seem to flock to me. I tried to miss this one remember?"

He was still laughing. "I'm gonna put a sign on your next car that says 'furry animals beware'."

I started to laugh a little. "God Logan, its not that funny."

"Yes, yes it is. Just promise me that next time you feel like mowing over a large rodent or marsupial, that you won't do it while driving 70MPH."

"Ok, I promise. And a badger, is considered part of the weasel family thank you very much."

He just smiled, laid back down with his arm across my stomach and I started running my fingers over it.

"Hey Ronnie, what did Mac tell you?"

"Its not really my place to say."

He smiled. "She told you she thought she was pregnant, didn't she."

"Yeah. How did you know?" And he says I'm the psychic one…

"We figured it out when Dick told us about the condom breaking. That's why we came back early."

"Oh, is that what happened? She never got a chance to tell us. It doesn't really matter though, she's not. She took like four tests last night. That was the reason for the vodka celebration."

I looked up at Logan as his eyes widened. "She's not?'

"No. why?"

"Um, I'll be right back."

He jumped off the bed and ran out the door leaving me completely confused.

"What the fuck was that all about?"

Dick

So here's the thing about Mac.

When she drinks, she gets horny and I mean really horny, like all she thinks about is boning. She basically becomes the female version of everyday life for me.

But this time she was really drunk and she kept passing out, which wasn't good. I knew I needed to wake her up, so I asked Casey to leave, took off our clothes and pulled her into the shower. I held her up under the stream of the water letting it run down her body and after about ten minutes she was becoming more coherent and she finally smiled at me.

"Hey."

"Hey Mackie. You ok?"

"I am now."

Before I could do anything to stop her, well, and not like I would have anyways, she had her legs wrapped round my waist, kissing me and pulling me against her.

We had sex once in the shower and then again on the bathroom floor. We'd tried to make it to the bed but it totally didn't happen. She was still stumbling but she was doing better and I just watched in amusement as she walked out of the bathroom.

She crawled under the covers and I followed her lead, coming up behind her and putting my arm around her. She was asleep almost immediately.

I on the other hand, hardly sleep at all. I just laid there with her, gliding my hand over her stomach thinking about how I was gonna handle the situation.

I'm still the shit…make no mistake about that. Just because I have a steady girlfriend and have given up my hound dog ways doesn't mean that I've lost my touch. And if you doubt that, just ask Mac, she'd be more than happy to defend my title.

But honestly, if you'd told me a year ago that I'd be in a committed relationship with my best friend and possibly soon to be a dad….I would have laughed in your face and called you a douche bag.

But of course that's where I am right now and I'll be the first one to admit that I don't do well under pressure.

But here's the thing, I've never really experienced a real family before. My mom hightailed it out of there when I was 8 and my brother Beaver was 7. After that, my dad was just never around. And sure, his steady string of new trophy wives were around but that was just it. They were nothing but eye candy that spent their time blowing our inheritance and on occasion, the gardener.

So sure…I'm 17 and still in high school and I may not be ready for this, but I'm gonna try my hardest to work it out. Because even though I never thought I'd be in this position…I wouldn't want to be in it with anyone else and she's more than worth it.

So when Mac woke up several hours later I knew what I had to do.

She turned around and smiled. "Hi."

I brushed the hair from her face and smiled back. "You feeling better?"

"No, not really, but I know something that might help."

She grabbed my arms and tried to pull me on top of her, but I stopped her and she looked at me confused.

"What's wrong?'

I sighed. Just fucking say it Dick. "I know why you were so upset this week."

She sat up, looking at me wide eyed. "You do?"

"Yeah, and its ok. I'm not going anywhere, I'm staying right here. We can get married and raise the kid and just be one big happy family. Because I love you."

I spit it out so fast I think it took her a minute to piece together what I'd said and then she smiled and started to laugh. "Did you just propose?"

Not the reaction I was expecting, but I guess I'll go with it. "Um, yeah. So will you?"

"Dick, I'm not pregnant."

"Huh?...Your not? Really? Are you sure?" I was trying to hide the excitement in my voice, but it was not working.

She was still laughing. "Yes. I'm positive or I guess you could say negative. I took a test… well actually… four. But they were all negative. Hence the celebration. Did you really think I'd drink that much vodka if I was pregnant?"

I smiled. That was a good point. So as usual I said exactly what was on my mind. "Oh thank fucking god!"

"No shit." She started stroking my chest. "Feel like celebrating?"

"Don't I always."

We were completely naked on top of the covers when Logan burst in the door.

He just stopped and stared for a second before shouting. "Fuck! I'm so sorry." And then he closed his eyes and walked or I guess ran out the door closing it behind him.

I looked down at Mac and smiled. "Well at least we gave him a good show."

She laughed. "Yeah, now let's return to the program already in progress."

Logan

I did not need to see that.

But that's what I get for trying to be a good friend. Well and not knocking of course.

I ran back to my room and jumped under the covers hiding my head by V's thigh and she crawled under too to find me curled up into a ball.

"Um Logan? You ok?"

"I think I'm blind."

She laughed a little and pulled my hands from my face. "Why?"

"I didn't knock."

She was really laughing now. "So you mean that you saw the Dick and Mac show?'

"In all its naked glory."

"Don't worry, after about a week you'll stop seeing Dick naked every time you close your eyes."

"Ahh! Don't say it Ronnie. I just got a flashback."

"Sorry."

She threw the covers off of us and pulled me out of my crouched position. "Do you know what will help you feel better?"

"No, what?"

"Feeding me."

I laughed. "Do you ever think about anything other than food?"

"Nope, not really."

God, I love this girl.

Veronica

Logan carried me downstairs to wait for the food. I probably could have done it myself, but he didn't give me a chance.

We joined Casey and Wallace in the living room and a little while later Mac and Dick came down. Logan couldn't even look at them, it was really funny.

The food had arrived and we had started to dig in when Luke and Meg came down the stairs. She was wearing his sunglasses and his hoodie, she looked worse than I did and that was saying something.

She plopped down on one of the chairs, Luke sat on the arm of it and when he saw the food he looked really excited. "Oh thank god. I'm starving." He stood up, walked over to the food and then turned to Meg. "You hungry yet?"

"Ugh no. I may never be hungry again."

He smiled at her and she curled her legs up in front of her resting her head on his leg when he got back to his sitting position.

After we were done eating the gate bell rang and Logan ran to the front door. He came back a few minutes later with Leo behind him.

Meg immediately sat straight up, taking her head off Luke's leg and leaving him looking unbelievably sad.

"Hi Leo!" She was smiling, maybe a little too brightly.

Leo took in her appearance and smiled. "Rough night Manning?"

"Uh yeah, rough night, morning and afternoon. What are you doing here?"

He was holding an envelope in his hand. "Did you forget I said I'd drop this by for Veronica? It's the info from the ticket."

I'd completely forgotten. "Oh, thanks Leo." He handed me the envelope and then looked back at Meg.

"Well, I need to get going I have to be at work in 30 minutes." Meg got up from the chair and went over to him.

"I'll walk you to the door." She followed him out as Luke's eyes followed her.

Now I really felt bad for him.

When they were gone Logan got my attention. "What's that Ronnie?"

"Well, when the highway patrol officer called in my accident yesterday…."

"What!" Everyone except Mac and Logan yelled.

"Oh yeah, by the way…." I told them about the ditch and then Mac told everybody about the false alarm. It really eased the mood and then I got back to the ticket.

"Anyways, he told me I had an outstanding ticket, so I asked Leo to get me a copy. Don was going to fix it for me and if he did I'd never see it."

Logan looked confused. "Why are you so worried about a ticket?"

"Because its from October 3rd, 2003, Logan."

Everyone was quiet. "Exactly." I opened the envelope and read the ticket. "Its from one of those automated intersection cameras, it caught Lilly running a red light at 3:02PM."

Logan tried to lean over and read it but I just handed it to him and stared at the picture.

Lilly was in my car smiling, but that's not why I was staring at it.

Its who was in the car with her.

Casey, was sitting in the passenger seat.

Casey

The minute I saw her face I knew what she was looking at.

Actually, that's a lie, the minute she mentioned the ticket I knew I was busted.

I needed to get her out of the room before she freaked out and didn't give me a chance to explain.

So I stood up and walked over to her. Everybody was just staring at me looking confused.

"V, I think I need to talk to you."

She looked up at me with a blank expression. "That's the understatement of the year."

I grabbed her hand and led her out to the pool house as everyone watched, Logan tried to follow but I stopped him. "I need to talk to her alone."

He stepped back and let us go.

I sat down on the couch in the pool house and she just stood there.

"Why were you in my car with Lilly if you were supposed to be in Aspen?"

She wasn't yelling, but she wasn't happy.

"I came back that morning. We'd had an argument the day before I left and I felt bad. I needed to talk to her."

"What was the argument about?"

"I don't want to tell you." I really didn't. This was all my own fault, I should have just been honest with her in the first place.

"I don't think you have much choice anymore Casey." The look of betrayal that she had in her eyes killed me inside, I knew that this was the end.

"I slept with Lilly."

She closed her eyes when I said it, it was like it hurt her to hear it. I understood, it hurt me just to say it. "When?"

"On homecoming."

"Was that the only time?"

"Yes. Just that one night."

"Why Casey, and why didn't you tell me?"

"I'm not proud of it V, I was drunk and so was she."

"Why Casey?" She knew there was more to it. I probably didn't even need to tell her, I'm sure she already knew why.

So I just spit it out, I was done lying and hiding things from her. "Because she was the closet thing to you."

It was the hard horrible truth, she was one of my best friends and I loved her, but that night all she was to me was a Veronica substitute. She knew it too and didn't care, but I still felt horrendous for it.

Veronica looked away from me. "So what was the fight about?"

"She was going to tell you and I was afraid that if she did, I'd never get you. So we fought and she promised she wouldn't."

"So why did you come back?"

"I felt bad. She was one of my best friends and I felt like I had betrayed her. So I came back and found her at the car wash. We went to my house to talk, she ran the red light on the way back. She forgave me and promised again that she wouldn't tell you. After that she dropped me off at the car wash…she begged me to stay with her actually. She wanted me to come home with her. She was really upset about something, but she wouldn't tell me what. But I didn't go with her. All I could think about was you, I couldn't throw away the possibility of having you one day and I knew that if I started something with her that you would never be with me. So instead I left and headed back to the airport."

She didn't say anything the whole time I spoke, I wasn't even sure she was listening. That is until I mentioned the fact that I'd gone back to the airport. "Can you prove that?"

That hurt. The fact that she could actually think that I'd killed Lilly. She knew me better than that, but I'd given her no choice. If I'd been honest from the beginning she wouldn't have had a reason to doubt me.

"You can check it out if you want. Actually, your dad already did. He got the ticket in the mail about week before he died. He came right over to see me. He checked it out and cleared my story. He knew I didn't do it, that's why he didn't tell you what the lead was. He wanted to wait to see if I was telling the truth. He didn't want to ruin our friendship."

"So you're telling me that this ticket has nothing to do with him solving the case."

"Yes, that's what I'm saying."

"I'm not sure I believe that. He tells me a week before he dies that he has a lead and then the day he dies he thinks he's solved the case. How am I supposed to believe you? Its too much of a coincidence." She was practically yelling at me by that point.

"V you don't have to believe me. You can believe him."

Her eyes shone with anger. "In case you've forgotten, he's dead. I can't exactly call him up."

Fuck, smooth move jackass. "No V, I haven't forgotten. I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. But think about it, would he have told you and Logan to go to my house that day if he thought I'd killed Lilly?"

She stood there for a second and then I saw the realization of the truth in my comment pass over her face.

"No, you're right, he wouldn't have. But I still can't believe you didn't tell me, or any of us for that matter."

The anger was gone but it had been replaced by disappointment, which was even worse.

"I'm so sorry Veronica. I didn't do it to hurt you, I love you. I've felt so guilty for the past year and a half. If I had stayed, if I had just let her be honest with you then maybe she would still be alive. Maybe if I hadn't let her go home alone I could have stopped it. I'll never forgive myself for my selfish behavior."

She walked over and sat next to me taking my hand. "Casey, it isn't your fault. There's no guarantee that you could have done anything, you can't blame yourself. But that doesn't excuse the fact that you've been keeping a secret like this from us. Especially since you know I've been trying to solve this case."

She was holding my hand but I could tell it was only for my benefit. There was no use in delaying the inevitable anymore.

"It's over isn't it?"

"Yeah Casey, it is. You're one of my best friends and I love you like I love all of my friends. But right now, I don't think I can trust you and that means that I can't be with you."

She wasn't crying but I could tell she was upset. I on the other hand, was devastated. I'd hoped she'd never find out, but I should've known better. Of course it didn't matter, regardless of the reason this would have happened soon anyways, but that didn't make it hurt any less.

"I'm so sorry V." I was trying so hard not to let the tears that were welling up in my eyes fall. I brought my hands up to her face. "Will you ever be able to forgive me?"

"Casey, you've been in my life since I was 5, you're family. That's never going to change. But I won't lie. It's gonna be a long time before things are completely ok with us."

"I understand." I stood up and started to walk away, I needed to get out of there.

She just sat there as I walked to the door. "Casey, what are you doing?"

I turned around and smiled. "I'm gonna leave for awhile."

"Ok, where are you going?"

"I don't know. I just need to get away from all of this for awhile. You're the only real reason I stayed after she died. I felt so guilty that I wanted to leave. I love everyone else and I would have hated to leave them, but I couldn't live with the thought of not seeing you every day."

"When will you be back?"

"I don't know. I'll always only be a call away V. When you're ready to forgive me and when you can trust me again I'll come back. But until then, I can't be around you. I need to try to get over you." I'd never be able to get over her but she didn't need to hear that.

She didn't try to change my mind, or beg me to stay, she just smiled a little and said. "Ok."

I walked back over to her and put my hand on her cheek. "I love you Veronica Mars, I always have and I always will."

She didn't respond, I didn't expect her to. So I kept talking. "Promise me something."

"What?"

"Promise me, that if you're ever able to trust me again, that you will give me another chance to try to make you love me."

She looked up at me. "You're an amazing guy Casey Gant, don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise."

"Is that a promise?"

She gave me a small smile. "It's an, 'I'll try'."

"That's good enough for me." I reached down and gave her one last kiss, trying to put all if my emotion into it.

I stepped back and stood there for a second just looking at her, memorizing every inch of her and then I turned around and walked out of the room.

When I got back to the house everyone was standing there staring at me, waiting for an explanation.

I told them about the ticket and what happened between me an Lilly. I thought for sure that at least one of them was going to hit me, but they didn't. They believed me and they should because it wasn't a lie. But I saw the betrayal in their eyes, just like I had seen in V's.

I went to walk out the door but Logan stopped me. "Where are you going Case?"

"I don't know. But I'll be back. Take care of her, ok."

He nodded.

When I got to the door I turned around one last time, they were all still staring at me and I watched as Logan turned and ran out to the pool house.

And in that moment I hated myself even more.

Not only had I screwed myself over. But I'd practically pushed her right into Logan's arms.

You might think I have no balls or backbone, I could understand that. And maybe I should have fought harder to keep her.

But that's what I've been doing for the last 9 months. I spent that entire time trying to get her to develop feelings for me and it didn't work. I just happen to have the misfortune of loving a girl who will most likely never love me back.

But here's the thing…I tried, and sure.. I failed.

But the fact that I did try, is more than most would have done in my situation. I didn't take the easy way out by ending it before she could, I stuck to my guns and didn't back down.

But believe me, next time, and there will be a next time, I'll just try even harder.

Because sure, Logan and Veronica are epic, just like Lilly always said.

But don't forget that epic doesn't come easy.

At some point they will fall apart, the destruction won't last long, but it'll happen and like I told Logan, I will be waiting.

I will be there to pick up the pieces.

Logan

I had to physically stop myself from crossing the room and pummeling Casey.

He's still one of my best friends and I love the guy, but that was important information that he kept from Veronica, and from us. She'd spent the last year operating under the assumption that her dad died because of that lead and Casey had known all along that wasn't the case.

So believe me, his choice to leave was a smart one, because he really put a dent in our trust.

But of course his leaving has nothing to do with us. He would eventually get our trust back, he knew that.

He's leaving because of Veronica.

He lied because of Veronica.

Everything that Casey does is because of Veronica.

And believe me when I say that I know the feeling. So I can't really fault him for that.

But he should have been honest, if he'd told us from the beginning it wouldn't have been an issue.

But I know what he was thinking. He knew he'd never have gotten Veronica if she knew about him and Lilly and he was right, he wouldn't have.

I should be happy. They broke up and that leaves her free for me to finally tell her how I feel.

But I'm not happy.

Well, I am about the Veronica part.

But as mad as I may be, it still kills me to say goodbye to him.

When I got to the pool house I found her sitting on the couch playing with the necklace Lilly gave her.

She didn't look up when I walked in but she knew it was me. "Is he gone Logan?"

"Yeah, he told us the truth and then he left."

"He didn't do it Logan. I know he didn't. But he lied to me, to us. For a year and a half."

I went and sat next to her. "I know Ronnie. And I'm not defending him, but he did it because he loves you."

"I know. But I need time."

"And that's what he's giving you."

We sat there for a few minutes in silence before she spoke again. "I broke up with him."

"I know. Are you ok?"
