"But-- you know you aren't, don't you? I've tried not to, to make you feel as if you're-- trapped, I mean, that's your word, I always knew-- I thought-- you'd prefer being a little less attached, or-But oh, you know you're not-- I mean, it's not up to me. But you must know you're essential." It's meant to sound a lot more definite, less like a question.
