Alex: "I don't understand. I thought you loved me."
Shannon: "I'm sorry, Alex. I have to go."

"I'm sorry, Alex," Shannon said as she packed her bags. "I know you're angry and heartbroken, but I have to do this. I have to put my sister first."
"You're choosing her over me?" Alex asked, incredulous.
"It's not like that," Shannon said desperately. "I love you, but she's my family. I have to take care of her."
"So what, you're just going to leave me here?" Alex asked, his voice full of pain.
"It's not forever," Shannon said softly. "I'll come back, I promise."
But even as she said the words, Shannon knew they were a lie.
