"She didn't like that I was trailing behind her.  I knew it.  We'd had that conversation before.  The one where she says she wants me to feel more special when i'm with her, not less.  The one where I admit that I sometimes feel less significant when I'm with her and she admits it's hard to feel like her success sometimes hurts me.  The one where Dee says that she has me on a pedestal, that I'm her hero, that her confidence in me is greater than my confidence in myself - and that drives her crazy.  The one that ends with tears because our feelings are so knotted together, we don't know how to untie them."
