Mary is a nice little girl, and I don’t want him to break her little heart how I broke your heart back in the day. It wasn’t fair to you and I still apologize about that sweetie.

Even though you are probably worrying right now because you are always worried about me. Worry about those people who aren’t getting loved ones.
