I don’t want to hear you say that you’re leaving me. If you plan on saying that, then don’t say a word. After we arrive at the harbor, you can leave when I’m not looking.”

He could not guarantee her a good future, so he could not promise her anything. Though he was not afraid of the consequences of his promises, he was afraid of hurting the woman he loved.
