I was a sundog before I met you, you know just how little I had...I don’t want that emptiness, no one caring, no one knowing...And another betrayal on my conscience...Nora, we had almost forty years! This place was good to us, but it’s falling apart on its own! Good times will come again. We have all the time there is! You wanted more life, and I went out and got it for you. Now you want me to throw it away. I won’t be a martyr, Nora. Not for anyone."
