you stole

[Colm can only go through it so many times. He's not as resilient as he used to be, can't take rejection after rejection after rejection and he doesn't want to leave her because he knows it'll be a mistake. But it's hard when all she ever tells him is no.] Okay. [He takes another step back, a solid one where he knows it's just a slow form of the distance he'll have to create.] But I don't want to leave. I'm gonna. You know, I'm gonna. Because it's what you want. Just, know that I don't want to. [He takes one more step back before he turns and he walks back toward the big sliding door where instead of the productive day like he imagined, he's gonna go lay on his bed and bury his head into the pillow so it seems dark and then he's gonna try all day just to sleep, stuck in the middle and defeating the purpose of coming out here in the first place.]
