She really didn't know what to do about him.
She wanted to love him but didn't dare to love again, leaving her conflicted and in pain.
Neither of the two, so deeply in love, had realized that every external obstacle only served to pull them closer. Only by going through such trials could they truly understand who belonged in their hearts.
Take Julian Donovan, for example. If she hadn't left three years ago, their dynamic might have remained the same—her loving him humbly, him looking down from on high. But now, his willingness to lower himself, to love her and pursue her, was undoubtedly the best development their relationship could have had.
Perhaps a few more trials were needed before she could cast aside all her lingering resentment and find the courage to be with him.
「Inside the car.」
