I know about cruel world. I am so very sorry that you had to find it out the hard way. It was unfair that she had to go through it. That she had to hurt and be scared all on her own. He didn't like it, but she was the one that had left. She had gone out on her own.

It was important that she found herself. He could attest to that in many ways. He had grown into his own when he had come here, and then further still upon his journey for his bride price.
