...not to offend you, Miss Everett, but...I don't recall saying that I'm in love with you?
[...there must have been a better way to put that.]
Don't misunderstand me, mademoiselle, you're a beautiful person, but it isn't love that's caused me to make that sort of decision.

Ah, I don't know if this is making the situation better or worse...but it really is fondness, you know. I don't come to care about people very easily, and so when I do I don't tolerate them being harmed any; that's what this is, and it's not anything that I can really see changing anytime soon.
