I stopped in my tracks, turning to look at him as if he told a particularly funny joke. "Don't act like you care all of a sudden, Lucas. You knew what I was bothered about, yet you kept on pushing my boundaries. Now you're all miserable, and I've become some sort of petty villainess in your story. Well, if you didn't care, then just forget it!
"I can forget you no problem, and I'm sure you can forget all about me, so don't come see me ever again. Can't you spare me this last shred of dignity?"
