He was literally telling her he wanted to help her, and the price she would have to pay for his help was that she would live a wonderful life. He was just too much. For him, she could live or die, whichever he told her to. She was sure of it. He was just too precious to not devote everything to.
"You're such a crybaby," he laughs as a tear trickles down her cheek and he wipes it away with his thumb. "See, I'm also being selfish with the kind of payment I want, it's the grand payment, so it's not wrong to exploit me as much as you want too. So tell me, would you like to continue studying?"
With tears trailing down her face, and her lips threatening to tear apart from the way she smiled, she nods a big yes.
She really wanted that, she envied all those who went to college, she never got to go to high school more or less step foot in college, so it always hurt her, and now… now this guardian angel of hers was giving her the express chance to do so… Lords! How she loved the man.
