Me-Before-You-by-Jojo-Moyes

I could see people at the hotel stopping, perhaps hearing our raised voices, but
I didn’t care.
‘Yes,’ Will said, after a pause. ‘Yes, there is. I’ve had the consultations. The
clinic agreed that I am a suitable case for them. And my parents agreed to the
thirteenth of August. We’re due to fly out the day before.’
My head had begun to spin. It was less than a week away.
‘I don’t believe this.’
‘Louisa –’
‘I thought … I thought I was changing your mind.’
He tilted his head sideways and gazed at me. His voice was soft, his eyes
gentle. ‘Louisa, nothing was ever going to change my mind. I promised my
parents six months, and that’s what I’ve given them. You have made that time
more precious than you can imagine. You stopped it being an endurance test –’
‘Don’t!’
‘What?’
‘Don’t say another word.’ I was choking. ‘You are so selfish, Will. So stupid.
Even if there was the remotest possibility of me coming with you to
Switzerland … even if you thought I might, after all I’ve done for you, be
someone who could do that, is that all you can say to me? I tore my heart out in
front of you. And all you can say is, “No, you’re not enough for me. And now I
want you to come watch the worst thing you can possibly imagine.” The thing I
have dreaded ever since I first found out about it. Do you have any idea what
you are asking of me?’
I was raging now. Standing in front of him, shouting like a madwoman. ‘Fuck
you, Will Traynor. Fuck you. I wish I’d never taken this stupid job. I wish I’d
never met you.’ I burst into tears, ran up the beach and back to my hotel room,
away from him.
His voice, calling my name, rang in my ears long after I had closed the door.
