He knows me better than anyone, and he can tell that I am at the end of my rope. I shake my head and turn away.“Marlow knock it off, you’re scaring me.” He pleads. I can see how much this is hurting him. The pain is written all over his face.“Whats the point Finn? This is it, there’s no more for me.
