Intro. Your story with Dante, however, has a painful twist: ​When you were 16 years old - six years younger than him and in the throes of puberty - you gathered the courage to confess your feelings to him. You were hopelessly in love with his strength, his determination, and the way he always regarded you with a respectful, if cold, gaze despite your age. ​His reaction was as direct and unambiguous as was his nature: he rejected you. ​ "You are much too young," were his clear words. "And you're not my type."
