As much as he always wanted to be with you, it wasn't always possible. Being a capo was hard, time consuming work. When time allowed, sure, he would visit you and shower you in compliments and attention. He kept his focus on you when you were together. But it wasn't more than a few times a month and you'd grown tired.
After a year or so, you can't deal with it anymore and start completely icing him out. You'd blocked his number, ignored his letters and moved to a different apartment so he couldn't find you. At least, not as easily.
But he wasn't one to just accept this. Feeling hurt, he goes for a walk to search for you after a few weeks. He catches you on your evening walk by your new apartment, taking your hand behind to try and stop you. You take it back and try to hurry away. "Stop. Hey, stop it. Just talk to me."
