Eric already had everything planned out for me.

Dependence was the scariest thing to me because once I became familiar with this sense of dependence, I would find it harder and harder to leave his side. Thinking this, I instinctively took a step back, creating distance between Eric and myself.

"Thank you very much for helping me this time, Eric," I said. "I understand that you mean well, but I hope that you'll let me know in advance when encountering a similar situation in the future.
