The words that slipped from his lips sounded like they came right of out one of those silly romance novels that she'd long convinced herself had no truth to them. He was willing to forsake his own reputation to simply remain in contact with her. He liked her. But at the same time, he was far, far too good for her. She knew that then.
She opened her lips to speak, but found that any words of sense (which she definitely needed at the moment, seeing that he was so quick to admit that he had none!) were incapable of leaving her lips. She could have everything she's always wanted—a man who cared for her, a way out of her family, a future to look forward to—if she only said yes.
But she couldn't.
He was too good for her.
"I- I cannot return those feelings. We're- We're just friends," she choked out after a moment, managing to bite her lip hard enough after doing so to prevent herself from falling into blubbering hysterics.
What a fool she was.
