“You’re crazy.” I jump to my feet.
“I’ll take that as your answer.”
“Don’t take it as a fucking thing!”
“Sit down and try to calm yourself.”
“You’re really pushing my buttons with all this. Why didn’t I mind my own business this morning? Why the hell did I come here to see how you were doing? I should’ve left you to suffer under Steve’s magical hands.”
“I’m going to ask you again, and this is the last time, because I want you to be honest with me.”
I sit down again, shaking my head nervously. It feels like I’m being interrogated here. I rest my elbows on my knees and drop my head into my hands.
“You want to know the truth, Jamie? The truth is that I don’t have any idea what the hell love is.”
Jamie leans in towards me, mimicking my position.
“Well then, let me tell you a story, and maybe, after you’ve heard it, you’ll understand what it means to love someone more than anything else in the world.”
