Not this time, husband.

Beca wanted to refute her son, but it was hard to explain more than she already had. Since Ryan wants to take a hard lesson of rejection, she won't stop him. 

Nodding to her son, she said, "If that's what you believe, then go ahead and try. Anyway, you are finding it hard to give up. Maybe a clearer rejection will help you see things for what they are." 

Ryan smirked confidently, "Mom, Arwen wouldn't reject me. She has no reason to." 

Beca chuckled softly, shaking her head. "Too bad, son, if you think she has got no reason to do that. Or if you think it was just one misunderstanding that caused it all." 

"Mom, it was the misunderstanding that caused her the walk away from me," Ryan said, keeping his tone firm. "Otherwise, she never would have. I am sure that once I explain everything to her, she will come back. She will realize there is no good reason to continue that false relationship she started just to get back at me."
