The truth of the matter was that she wouldn't have just gotten up and left if he'd said years but she just didn't want it to be that way. It would be nearly impossible, it would be torture to go without this feeling. She lets out a shaky breathe and then smiles, expression clear.]

It would be hard, sure, there might be things that Rin would miss this way. He might not be around when she graduates high school, let alone college. She'll have to tell people she is taken but no, there's no meeting Rin whenever. But that'll be alright. Those are things she can deal with.
