You begin to think this is easy - this not loving him. The key, you realise, is avoidance. Don't look back. Never, ever look back.

He notices, of course. He starts seeking you out - asking questions to which he has all the answers. But this is easy, you tell yourself.

And then it happens. A perceptive child, on some otherworldly planet, asks, "How do you bear it?" "Bear what?" "Being in love." And he's right there, watching. Momentarily, lightning-fast, your gaze hits his. And everything falls away - all is lost.

You can't do this. You can never do this.
