“Go back inside. Gather your things—clothes and your toothbrush. Hurry, we’re leaving today. Until things calm down, I’m taking you to your Aunt Christabelle’s house. I can deal with Roger. No, you don’t need to cry, it doesn’t hurt. I’m fine.
Remember what we talked about?
Being strong. Can you be? Can you stop crying, please? We’ll find a payphone. Do you have any change? Here, I have some. You need to forget all the things that were said before he hit me and left. Sometimes when we’re mad we say cruel things to hurt each other and we don’t really mean it.
Remember that we promised to be brave. I need you to be. I need you to be—
to be strong. Being strong doesn’t mean hurting someone. Being strong means you know when you’re wrong and when you should go.”
