- You, too.

I was putting him up for a while and...

He didn't stay long.

'Your call has been forwarded

to an automated voice message system.'

'Hi, you've reached Mary.

Please leave a message.'

Mom?

Mom...

Mom!

Mom...

'Michelle...

'I've spent a lot of time

in the past couple of months

'reflecting on myself

and our relationship.

'I've never cried as much as I have

in that time about anything or anyone.

'I know now that the only way for

'is for us to have time apart.

'I became too nested and reliant on you.

'Emotionally and even financially,

in a way -

'something I had never expected,

or wanted.

'I know my behavior at times probably

only made the atmosphere more toxic.

'I have so much love in my heart to give,

and I know the man that I want to become.

'The kind of man

that would make my father proud.

'It's not lost on me that

for almost 5 years

'I had one of the finest women

I've ever known as my partner.

and now I don't and that kills me.'

You know that you stayed

more than 90 days.

No, I, er...

I'm sorry. I didn't realize.

Hold on.

'Whatever happened before,

I'm not dangerous.

'I'd never hurt you.

'I know I need this time to grow

and put my life in order.

'And I know you needed this time, too.

'I hope we can meet soon,

'as the people we know and...

'I hope we can meet soon,

as the people we know...

'I hope we can meet soon

'as the people we know we can

and will become,

'on the corner of 12th and University,

'we'll kiss where we first kissed

and start again.

'I'm sorry, and I'll see you soon.

'Love always. Simon. Your lion.'

OK, it's fine. You can go.

Go on.

Thank you. Goodbye.
