Star of the show

Lena still did not take a bite of hers but James took initiative and took a bite of his muffin.

"Anyways..." The young man continued. "I only brought you here to discuss some things with you. I can't bring it up to Kris, so I am going through you instead."

"So... I am just a messenger?" Lena replied.

"No... you're the star of the show." He smiled.

"I don't understand." 

"How much do you love Kris?" He asked.

"Why does that matter?" 

"Would you sacrifice yourself for something that Kris had spent a long time of his life trying to move on from?"

"That's a stupid question." Lena smiled. "Love does not equate to sacrificing. Plus.. no matter how much I love him, is my death more beneficial to him or this thing that he had spent a long time to move on from. I can help Kris move on from a lot of things... But who is going to help him move on from me?"
