Hey Antlers here's one man's take on what the man with the fast machine was saying. I think he is saying that your life is not in her hands, it is in yours. The ball is in your court to do what you will with it. And as far as the impact of her words on her. She has told you that you have no future together. What will happen when se realizes what that means for her as well as you. Especially if you are ready to stand alone.
