Maybe he could have loved Karin. Maybe if he stayed and kept trying, she might open to him. But Andy was young and not willing to waste a week of his life on a ‘maybe’.
He had tried, day after day, after week after month, but it was all uphill. He had a life, had ambition, had opportunities, and to put it all on hold to walk behind Karin like a puppy….
Andy had been recruited by a number of other companies, just as good as this one. He’d been offered a slightly higher salary. But that wasn’t the point.
The point was sitting there, waiting, hoping, that Karin would ‘succumb’.
Sometimes we just have to walk away.
Yes, sometimes you will only hurt yourself, so you walk away.
