Perhaps whatever it was that drew us here was interested in people who could handle a setting such as this? And as such, we understand how hellacious life can be. Perhaps hiding is one of the worst things we can do."

She presses her lips together. "Still, as much as I told you, I'm not sure I need to spill my entire life story."
