He looked at her with a disappointed look.  He knew they would hate him and shun him.  He knew that they might even shun her or her relationship with him.  He didn't want any of that for her.  He cared about her.  He wanted her happy.  He knew that it would be a strain on them if they tried to be together and the family got in the way.  The friends or the family would strain their relationship and he wouldn't be with Madison.  He stopped walking and removed his arm from her.  He looked around to the side and down the street.  He looked back over and swiveled his head.  He then looked at her and frowned.  He decided that this should be discussed before they go further down the street of love.  Staring at her eyes he asked, "Well what can we do?  I know they won't like it and you're right they matter.  So what do we do?  Do you want us to continue down this road or stop now and shake hands parting."  He didn't want to say that, but he didn't want to be strung out on a failed attempt.  He needed to see her and if he couldn't then,...then.....  He didn't want to think about it.  He didn't want to go back to that.
