If it didn't hurt so much to hear, Sean would almost have to laugh at that. The day he's done with her is the day he meets his maker, and hearing her like that feels like he may as well be ripping his own heart out of his chest to speed things along. "I'm through lyin' t'ye, no more pretendin' ta be somethin' I'm nae no matter how much I wish otherwise. I'll ne'er be done with ye so long as I live, but ye should really be done wi' me." Just the fact that he'd put her through this, even with all the chances she gave him to back out and make things right, all over events now years in the past that he didn't even get to finish, should really say as much.
