      "I had no choice.  You think I liked seeing you cry.  I cried with you.  It took all of my self control to keep from holding you when you were sad.  It broke my heart as much as it hurt.....what used to be yours.  You have blotted out every form of love.  You do not even believe that I can love you so much. That is the only reason I am still alive."  Tears are running down his face.  He doesn't know what else to say to make her believe.  To touch her in some way.

      "I can't believe you."  A tear rolls down Em's face.  "I just can't.  Why do you hurt me.  Stop trying to make me believe!"

      Then, it comes to him.  Jay walks toward her.  Em just sits there with her head bowed crying.  He puts his paw to her face and lifts her head.  He looks her in the eye and says the one sentence, he knows will finally prove that he's the one she loved.  "You have no idea how far I would go for you."

      At those words, all of the barriers in her heart broke down.  She herself breaks down.  She had never told anyone that Jay had said that.  Only he could know.  She starts sobbing uncontrollably.  She cries and cries saying his name over and over.  All the while, Jay holds his girl through the night, telling her how much he loves her.  Telling her, everything is going to be alright.  That he's here to stay.
