She smiled. "Hopefully, you'll have finally found someone who treats you well."

"I think everyone has a past. I do. My husband does too."

"Well, yes.. but a past is what makes someone, them."

"Yeah, and sometimes their past leaves trails of trauma... which is something that comes with that person."

"Yeah, I unfortunately do too, and it's not easy."

"That's true. I try and work passed it, but some days are harder, especially since my own father and brother tried... ending my life."

"Yeah, I'm afraid of my own family because of it. Especially my brother. He's done some horrible things, and I witnessed them all."

"Well... no... not really... it's so complicated... and it could all just end horribly wrong."

"I hope not either. Although I'll figure something out. Especially since I don't really have many places I can go, besides my ex-boyfriend's house."

She shook her head. "No need to be sorry.. I'm used to it, as I can't go home, as my father has become possessive and my brother is just psychotic."

"Well thank you. I'll keep that in mind."

She nodded softly. "Anyway, I hope things work out for you."
