She asked "Do you love me?"
He answered "Yes, I love you, very much!" He didn't lie, he does love her indeed, but his love has nothing to do with family and responsibility.
Love, void and immaterialized, is what he can give her. Family and responsibility, real and materialized, are NOT what he can provide her.
She understands that the relationship between them cannot afford anything, not even the touch of breeze. It's so fragile, like a sand castle carelessly built up by a kid, any external force, even just a little puppy tottering by, it will collapse completely. The only thing which still ties them together is their passion and love, she has never loved anyone like she does for him, she thinks this is the true love, at least from her side. But passion will fade, love can die too, there is no other bond between them. Like a loosely tied knot, with the gentlest touch, it will fall into two parts.
