“Still. You're the only one. And that’s not the same as caring.”
I thought you said you weren't interested in that? You don't want "all that stuff."
(Deep breath) Are you asking if I care? Because if you are... I do care.

C’mon, who are you trying to kid? You know that already.

My gut reaction is, be cautious about *pushing* her out the door with all the magnificent deadness. There's gotta be a balance there, between not pursuing and being SO accepting of the fait accompli that you actually convey the wrong message (to wit, "I don't care enough to fight for you". But damme, you're doing the best you can with it all. Selfish looks good on ya; wink.
