The truth, Adam, is that your friend, your collaborator, a person you clearly love and are close to, is horrid and despica ble. He told me things that might be truths, or maybe lies-1 don't know. I'm not sure. I'm not sure of anything anymore, and I would love to ask you, so badly. But I'm terrified that he might be right, and that you won't believe me. And I'm even more terrified that you will believe me, and that what I tell you will force you to give up something that is very important to you: your friendship and your work with him. I'm terrified of everything, as you can see. So, instead of telling you that truth, I will tell you another truth. A truth that, I think, will be best for you. A truth that will take me out of the equation, but will make its result better. Because I'm starting to wonder if this is what being in love is. Being okay with ripping yourself to shreds, so the other person can stay whole.

She inhaled deeply. "The truth is, we did great. And it's time we call it quits."
She could tell from how his lips parted, from his disoriented eyes searching hers, that he wasn't yet parsing what she'd said. "I don't think we'll need to explicitly tell anyone," she continued. "People won't see us together, and after a while they'll think that... that it didn't work out. That we broke up. And maybe you..." This was the hardest part. But he deserved to hear it.
