Not like I love you, I wasn't in love with him, but I loved him. He's the one that helped me after we broke up. He always gave me what I needed and he didn't ask for anything in return."
When she choked up, she dropped her head again and shook it, looking at her knees. "He more than cared about me, Clay, he watched out for me, he was just always there. And now he's just gone. Someone blew him up. And they'd have blown me up."

Her throat closed up and the tears came.
