"We don't have to deserve each other." Andrew hugged her tightly as he gently caressed her back. "We just have to love and respect each other." 

When she kept sobbing, he grabbed her arms and pulled her away. "Why are you crying?" He wiped her tears away. "There is no need to cry—" 

"Y-You won't leave me, right?" Rachael closed her eyes and lowered her head. "If you do, I don't think I will be able to handle it again." 

Andrew understood what she meant and his heart ached for her. Only if he had managed to win her over before she met that stupid ex of hers. 

"Listen—" He grabbed her chin and lifted her head up. "I will never leave your side no matter what happens. Even if we fight, I'll always come back to you no matter what." 

"I am not him, Rachael. I will never make the mistake of leaving such a wonderful and beautiful woman," he stated. "I know how to treasure the woman I love."
