Etienne stared at him and shook his head. Den you is a coward. Everyt'ing wort' 'avin' an' 'oldin' onto is goin' to possibly 'urt you sometimes. It is just dey way of tings. Life always 'as a little pain to go wit' all dey 'appiness. Dere be balance.

Etienne sighed.I 'ope dat someday you be willin' to open yer 'eart to someone w'et'er it be to friend or more.
