Chapter 71 The Frustration Of Inactivity

• — Wow, it seems like you read my mind — he says, laughing — but I’m not saying this to be mean, my love. I’m saying it because I care about you and want you to be okay. I know Tania is your friend and that you care about her, but you can’t take on her problems. She has to face them on her own, and you need to take care of yourself and think about you. I don’t want you to feel overwhelmed by things that aren’t in your control.
• — I know, Adrien. I know, and I appreciate you caring about me. But I can’t help feeling bad for her. She has been there for me during my toughest moments, and now that she’s going through a crisis, I feel like I can’t do anything to help her. I feel powerless and guilty — I say, looking down.
• — You don’t have to feel that way, darling. You have nothing to feel guilty about. You’ve been a good friend to her, and she knows that. But there are things that only Tania can sort out — he says, lifting my chin and looking into my eyes.
