I'm not sure that I'm much of a romantic myself. I'm not sure I ever had anyone who I had given my heart to quite in that way, or if I did... [ ...if she did. ] I don't remember them. But to call something like that a stupid dream...

[ Her smile turning warm then, she tilted her head slightly to one side. ]

I hope one day you might be able to think differently. To be able to dream like that again. To find love and be happy.
