And if that’s the life you want to lead, go for it. I won’t stop you, though I admit, I don’t really want to watch it either. I like you a little too much for that.” She pauses, not done, but simply taking a moment. ”But some part of me thinks that’s not really who you want to be anymore. I’m not gonna sit here and tell you the road from ‘were’ to ‘are’ will be easy - it won’t be - but if that’s the path you want to walk, you don’t have to do it alone.”
