"Stop following me!" Asher yelled, his patience running thin. He had let it slide for too long because she had done a lot for him.  But now she was everywhere, suffocating him. 

"I’m only trying to protect you," she responded.

“Of course not, you know that’s not the reason…”

“Then why do you want me to stop following you?”
