Whatever&#8217;s going on, what happened with you was just the last tiny thing that broke her. She won&#8217;t talk about the other thing yet. If you know anything about it, whatever it is, I&#8217;d really appreciate it if you let me know.<\/p>\n<p>If it&#8217;s not a problem, I&#8217;d also appreciate it if you could just swing by her apartment a couple times and make sure everything is all right.
