She understands now what he was going through. She’s managed to work through and get rid of the initial fear she had of him. She’s not sure if she’s fully forgiven him for what happened but… does she need to? ]

Now I just… want to be held by my boyfriend.

[ She leaves the next part unspoken:

“Could you?” ]
