"It's an engagement ring baby," he said, "you don't know how long I've been waiting for the perfect time to propose to you."

"What's happening to me Jake? I love you, I love you so much, Jake, but. I think I'm dying. I can't accept it, I can't be with you, I can't marry you, not now, not like this."
