The reality of her words struck me - she didn't deserve me?
Then I realized that maybe she was putting aside our opposite stations in life and looking for what we could offer each other as persons - equal in our complexities, our problems, our questions about our futures....
Maybe I could do that as well. After all, there were times when I was with her that I saw past the money and prestige. In those times, I saw her at her most vulnerable....as she was seeing me now.
"Clarissa, you have already shown me growth since that first night at the gallery. I see a little of who you are underneath all of those layers you put up in front of people. I like this new Clarissa very much, and I want to be a part of her life."
"That is, if you'll let me, because I'm pretty sure I need you more than you need me."
