MIA: So, I told you. Because I would rather you be rightfully mad at me than feel disappointed in yourself for going too far with me.

CONNOR: I'm not mad.

CONNOR: Not anymore.

MIA: Honestly? I was happy and feeling a bit selfish. I knew once I told you, it would be done and I didn't want that.

MIA: But then you seemed to really start getting serious and I knew it wasn't fair to keep lying to you. And I didn't want you to do anything that you would later feel horrified over.
