He shook his head and gave me a sad smile "I will only be using you and your company Señorita, you deserve a man who will cherish and love you, and I cannot be that man." My shoulders slumped "She has done you a toll." He nodded gravely, looking away at the skyscrapers on the window. Standing up, I stood next to him and slowly cupped his chin to make him stare at me "I remember a man once told me that the only think you can do when life gives you lemons is to move forward.
