But Lily, I only took care of Elsa out of guilt. She’s sick, and I wanted to be with her at the end. There’s never been any romance between us. The one I’ve always wanted is you. From now on, I’ll avoid being alone with her. I’ll spend more time with you. Get rid of that bastard in your belly, and we can start over.
