I cannot with St John. He is so frickin irritating. Possessive boyfriend but not even a boyfriend??? What is up with that??

‘I love you, and know you prefer me. It is not despair of success that keeps me dumb. If I offered my heart, I believe you would accept it. But that heart is already laid on a sacred altar: the fire is arranged round it. It will soon be no more than a sacrifice consumed.’

‘Who in the world cares for you? Who will be injured by what you do?’
Still indomitable was the reply: ‘I care for myself.’

‘I must, then, repeat continually that we are forever sundered - and yet, while I breathe and think, I must love him.’

Shit the bed.
