Im just here to provide the medical treatment shes payingfor, and once thats done, whatever romantic plans you two have are completely your own.

Dont apologize, Fran, Simon interrupted.

I respect you greatly, but I just dont have those kinds of feelings for you. Stop, please stop! Simon shouted, unable to accept her words.
You must be lying.
After all these years together, how could you not love me? Simon, love isnt determined by how long people spend together, Francesca replied gently. Besides, youre ... not really ny type.
