"When are you going to realize that violence, yelling, and calling me names isn't going to make me abandon you? You've been trying very hard to get me to give up. Just accept that I'm not going to. I have my own reasons and trust me, not a single one of them has anything to do with sex. Of course, if you want to believe that I'm unable to resist your charms, go ahead. I would hate to be the one to ruin your fantasy world."
