"You're not listening to me. I want you to love him, as it is my personal preference darling, but you don't have to. You don't have to," she reiterated calmly. "I'm not forcing you. I'm not going to love you less. I don't think you're marred. I don't dislike or hate this part of you, or any other thoughts you must be thinking right now to feel hurt. Right now, you've turned away from me, and are feeling emotions of hurt, stress and who knows what else, and they are not my doing. I'm not hurting you nor trying to offend you. I am just simply trying to explain things. Stop acting like I am some vicious lady injuring you. It hurts my feelings. I'm just having a simple conversation with you. It's not an attack on your character. Can't we have a conversation in peace?"
