“What do you mean by that, Anastasia?” I ask her.

“Jim, sometimes you make me feel so many things all at once, and I just don’t want to feel that way anymore” she says and bows down her head and I know she’s about to cry.

“Why do you constantly do things to hurt yourself, Anastasia, you know I want you and I know that despite all the things that you’re saying to me, you still want to be with me, so why are you trying to lock yourself out?” I ask her and place her hands in my palm.
