" You jerk ! " He set me down roughly on the grass , my legs almost buckling under me as I regained my balance .

Even less than Aria , who could help him in his career . So why , why was he angry ? " You hesitated ! You actually hesitated when I proposed ! Is it because of Rolin ? Do you want to leave me for him ? " I looked at his angry face , lifted the corners of my bitten lip , and said : " Leo , this isn't about Rolin . It's about me . I've spent so many years making everything about you - about us - and in the process , I lost myself . " " But whether it's you or Rolin , I am first and foremost myself . " " This is where it ends , Leo , we're breaking up . " After three years , I finally found the strength to let go .
