Michael knew the words but could not bring himself to say them, admitting his feelings for Karina meant he was making himself vulnerable and putting Karina in harm's way.

There were too many risks and even if it ended badly for him, he didn't want Karina to face any problems, he didn't want to hurt her or let anyone hurt her.
