"I'm going to help you too. So you can either accept that as a thing you can't change, or you can fight it and make this a whole lot harder on the both of us." Again, while he spoke quiet, a stubborn look had entered into his eyes.
Then his smile grew more genuine, if sad around the edges. "Besides, the best revenge would be to live your life to the fullest, and show you don't need him to make you happy."
