You won't allow yourself to fall in love with a man!

You take a breath - and shake your had.

“I know. And I like you, too, really. A lot. More than anyone, maybe. But I’m not – ready for a relationship. With a man.”

The voice of your old male self agrees triumphantly inside. The gemstone on your chest feels cold. Yeah, sure, you obviously missed a chance to explore your femininity by admitting you fell in love with a guy. Who cares. Not gonna happen. You're going to be a man again, soon. Definitely. Surely. Fucking another guy is one thing but telling him you love him... again you shake your head. Look at him. He looks devastated.

“I’m really sorry. It’s not you – I know that sounds cheesy but It’s true. I’m not ready for any of this. You'll find another woman to make you happy.”

You stand up, kiss his cheek and leave.
