So you expect me to just pick up and run away with you?

Beth, we can work something out.

Trust me.

Why? You didn't trust me. You lied to me.

! thought you wanted to be with me,

She's never wanted! to go out there before!

Instead, I've just made it worse.

You should have trusted her.

Given her a chance to trust you.

You shouldn't wish for things like that.

Wishing is stupid.

Like hoping.

Like trust.
