I slowly blinked my eyes, trying to process what she has just said. Sometimes it is very hard to put our feelings into words thinking that we may get judged by others. What shocked me the most is that she has gone extremely far by hurting herself that could possibly lead to her death. I paused for a minute and asked, "Does Vivienne know about…" I motioned my hand to her and continued, "About all of this?" I said, specifically pertaining to the scars on her hand.
