   It stung. The rejection. 
   A  lot  more  than  she
   thought it would. Beth
   told  herself  that,  no
   matter   his   answer, 
   she wouldn’t let herself
   get   upset.   But   that 
   damn    lump    in    her 
   throat kept growing and
   growing.

   ”i promise I won’t slow

Rick knew he couldn’t have
her around. That it would be
a risk for the both of them. 
It’s not that he didn’t want
her to aid him, to survive,
he just couldn’t handle being
the reason she didn’t survive
for long. No matter what, in 
any situation, Rick would want
to die, and it would put her life
on the line too.

“It’s not that,” he started, knowing
there was no way he could explain
how he felt to her. “I’ll get you killed.”
