Blind Date Turned Proposal (Josie and Dexter)

Josie didn't know how to respond. There was a hint of helplessness in her tone as she said, "Some people simply can't go back to the past." "Then we won't go back! You didn't like who I was before, right? I won't go back, then!"

"That's not what I meant. What I'm trying to say is, the love we once shared can't be reclaimed. I am no longer fervently devoted to you."

This response caused Dexter's actions to momentarily slow down. A rare vulnerability appeared in his eyes as he softly asked, "You don't love me anymore, right?" "That's right. I don't love you anymore."

Even with such a response, Dexter still didn't believe it. "Look into my eyes and tell me you don't love me anymore," he said.

"I don't love you anymore."

"Say it again."

"I don't love you anymore."

"Say it again."
