I would never reject you on purpose. Maybe it's selfish, but I like being yours. I like you being mine. That a piece of ourselves are connected to each other, down to our souls. If I have my way, you'll never get rid of me. Unless you really wanted it, of course.

You don't have to decide right now whether or not you want to rely on me any more than you already are. The important thing is that you trusted me enough to contract with me, and I don't ever want to lose you.
