There's really no need to hide, Mr. Washington. [She's starting to tear up again as you try so very hard.] There's another man I know who's just the same. He's fallen so madly in love with me, but my heart belongs to another and whenever we meet, there's ever so much said in the silences and protests. He's the kindest man I know. He wants me to be happy, so he tries to pretend his love away.

I think you must be doing something very like that for the woman you must love somewhere.
