"I think you should have some more confidence, you are quite striking." He'd noticed that in their first meeting. Beautiful had more than one definition. "But I can't fill the role you want me to. I have zero intentions to settle down any time soon." He didn't want to hurt her feelings, but he also was in no position to ensure she didn't wind up alone and she needed to know that.
