EXTRACT: ..I started to cry. But not because I wanted to. I didn't want to at all. I cried because I knew that it made it him feel better. I knew that if I cried he wouldn't be so angry. So I cried, I cried a lot. I said I was sorry. I said I was sick. I said I was selfish. And, I said I would stop. And be with him. Just the two of us. God I cried and all the time I was thinking how I could get us in the car again and back to the city.
