Norman:
A man has many wishes and many regrets. I had one too. Watching Jessica take her last breaths in my arms made me realize one of my wishes would never come true. I wished Jessica had stayed my friend. We had far more potential as friends than as a couple.
I remember when she first brought the idea to her father, and he started pressuring my mother about it. My mother was so happy to be on board. Even though I told them, over and over from a young age, that I didn't see her that way.
I remember when Jessica came to me and asked why I wasn't entertaining the idea. I told her it was because I didn't feel that toward her, and I didn't want her to waste her life chasing me when she could find her mate somewhere else.
