But...even so...it's not right to use your past as an excuse. Not in something like this. Even if she's not ready to talk about whatever had happened to her...you can still talk about this much. And I hope you do. For both your sakes.
I don't know if it even is that, if it's just part of her. She hasn't said anything. [ He scratches his cheek. ] Anyway... I didn't bring you here to talk about something that depressing anyway. Sandwiches should be here soon, unless they take much longer to make.
