She shakes her head, smiling.

"Al, you're not selfish. You want happiness for both your brother, yourself, and me. That's hardly a selfish thing--if you were truly selfish, you would have never taken anyone's personal feelings into consideration. And that's something I can never see you doing--you're too kindhearted of a person."

She sucks in a breath, and closes her eyes.

"I don't want to ever leave you, either."
