[Veronica doesn't fault him for holding her tighter, only frowning as he begins to shake. Is she doing right by him, allowing him close like this when she can't give him what he wants? She doesn't know but as a friend...she can't abandon him.]
It is not a matter of replacing you. I will not do that. And you are worthy of love even if it is not mine. You are worthy and you are not a fool, Angelo. Do not doubt yourself. Even if it will not be me, you deserve happiness.
[Yeah, Veronica was making this a lot more painful by just saying that to him. She made it so obvious she didn't want him in the way he wanted to nor give him any hope it could happen in the future. She was pushing him away and he didn't like it.]
I appreciate what you're saying Veronica, I do, but... I think for now, I need time to heal.
[She's only rejected someone all of two times as of today and she is still sure that she just doesn't have enough emotional maturity to help him, to do this without hurting him. But she won't pity him. She treats him as if he will be able to get over this and to find someone she knows will love him in return. He's strong enough. She believes in him.]
...I understand.
[Gently, she begins to pull away. If he needed time to heal, she would give him that.]
[He kisses one of her hands gently and tries to smile for her, even if it is pained.]
You still mean very much to me and I'll always care about you. However, I think it's time I departed/ [He then makes his way to her front door.] I'll see you some time later, Veronica.
[And with a small wave, he opens the front door and leaves.]

I will see you later.
[She catches at the door anyways, peeking out.]
...Please take care of yourself, Angelo.
