49.08) I watched a tear freeze on your cheek you said you were too sad to speak.
"I never promised you anything."
The look you gave me when I said that to you held more passion in it than anything I'd seen before in your eyes. I wondered where all that emotion had been when you'd had me in your bed. Maybe it would have been enough to keep me interested.
"I know you didn't." The small sniff that followed made you sound pathetic, and I had to turn away. "I just thought..."

"Dev, please...don't go."
I might have been all right if I hadn't seen the lone tear that trickled down your cheek as you started to beg me to stay. Seeing you that way was the final nudge I needed to break things off completely. I'd decided a long time ago that I wasn't going to cry over anyone. I expected nothing less from everyone else.
