"Sob" is the first word we hear in this chapter. It's the first time we've heard this one before, and we're not sure what to make of it. We're guessing that it's because the narrator's voice is so low-flown that we can't hear what he's saying. The narrator tells us that he loves his boss, and that he doesn't want to live a life of denial. He wants to tell her the truth, and he wants her to stop trying to make him feel bad about it. He tells her that she's too extreme about everything, and she should stop being so extreme about it, because she'll never be able to tell him that she loves him. He says that if he didn't tell her this often, she wouldn't get it, and then he'd blame himself for not telling her sooner.
