More Than That Prologue

"Look at me, Jennifer," he commanded her, his hand lifting her face to his when she refused to comply.

"No, don't do this to me," Jennifer shook her head and squirmed away from him, tears filling her eyes. "Please, don't..."

"Listen to me..." he started singing softly, his voice growing stronger as the song continued.

I will love you more than that

I won't say those words, then take them back

Don't give loneliness a chance

Baby listen to me when I say

I will love you more than that

"I heard what he said to you, you deserve better, baby...you deserve me."

Jen gasped and turned to stare at him, unable to believe what he had just said. "You don't mean that..."

He smiled lightly and continued singing.

Baby you deserve much better

What's the use in holding on

Don't you see it's now or never

Just why you can't be friends

Baby knowing in the end

Oh I will love you more than that...*

"We had a chance once and didn't even know it...please, Jenny Lynn, let me try again?"

"Oh god, I don't know..."
