The way that you always be honest with your thoughts, how you let me be who I am in front of you or the way I like to be around of the people, you never asking me to be someone else. And, the way you always trying for me, I mean for real, I just helped you once the first time we met, then suddenly it looks like I've been using you for all the time. My career, has been successful since you help my manager, then not even once you ask something in return, just this little gesture, the way you want to be with me, to be around me, and chat with me, and I realized how wonderful and cool this woman. I am the most lucky man on the earth. Then suddenly, I saw you with another man, it felt something different. For all this time, maybe those little gestures you've done to me actually the really meaning of our relationship. Nothing special."
Lara answered, "I don't know what to say, Dean. For all this time, I simply do what I feel good. To be with you also the greatest time I've ever have. What then, do you want? What is it? What do you want me to be?"
Dean said, "I don't want you to be anything, I want you to tell me what to do."
Lara said, "We're not in the relationship or anything. And, you're not owe me anything. If this phone is the way how you look of our relationship, I'll throw it away."
