Being with me is what she claims to the be the only reason she broke up with Ian. Lisa and I talk about what we want. During these talks Lisa seems overcome with love and emotion and claims that she wants to be with me and she loves me. She says that this is all she needs and she truly believes that it will get better and that she can be happy with me. We decide to become a couple and start planning the trip.
