And the messages she sends me, the way she calls me, the way she acted last time I saw her - no-one acts like that if they've stopped caring. After what I did, maybe she's right to make me wait. It was just a matter of time until she came back to me. Mike and the games we used to play - that's all in the past now. I'm getting married to the man of my dreams - he looks after me, but he doesn't stifle me. He was too much, too controlling - sometimes, I was afraid of him.
