Wait, what does number 9 mean?

Um. It's what it sounds like. But not really in a conscious way. That doesn't make sense, does it?

It does. Does that scare you?

I've lived with demons my whole life. I don't know if scare is the right word. It's actually more, um, empowering.

Empowering how?

I could recognise what I was doing. Normally I don't, until it's too late. Is this freaking you out?

A little, but not in the way you think.

What way?

I've known you a little while now, and I've not seen you do a single thing for yourself. So, is it your bucket list, or everyone else's?

But this trip's for me. I wanted the holiday.

But not really though, is it? It's because you thought I needed to get away. It's because you wanted Amarlie to feel part of your family. It's because you want your parents back together.
