The Sunspire Heights, Round Two

"I want to be better. I'm not saying I don't like myself. But fear is so crippling." Being stuck at home all the time had given her way too much time to think. She had been forming her list for awhile. "I think if I give up and don't try to be better I'll never really be happy." She frowned. She certainly wasn't happy at home. "Being out here, I've been learning a lot about myself. What I can do, what I can't or shouldn't do alone." She smiled vainly, looking up at her companion towering over her. She felt comfortable talking to him. " I hope it doesn't change me, but in a way I hope it does."

But she kept her eyes open and her head forward, trying to breath through the panic as her whole body began to shake.
