Then finally, Alexandra mellowed down and <strong><em>begged him to come back<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>That was the signal. She was at her most vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s when Sgt.

If that wasn\u2019t possible, then it would be best to save each other\u2019s time and emotions and just break up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At that, Alexandra relieved the pain the only way she could. She agreed to his terms.<\/p>\n<p>Within a couple of months, she had moved in, found a new job, and settled in with Sgt.
