"I wish there was some way that I could... I dunno... help her better. You know?" Romy sighs as she finally places the pasta in the boiling water.
"I know what you've experienced has been difficult, but, Gen, be glad they didn't manage to get you too."

"Do you have any... tips? I mean... I've tried my best with Gen, but we've only been together for a short period of time and you guys have clearly been together longer. I just figured..." Romy shrugs.
"I'm just glad that you're safe. That you've been safe."

"if she is like him be there for her. Let her talk when she gets ready to. Don't force her in to talking if she isn't ready. Being there does more then talking was and is best for him."
"I know. You always made sure I was safe."

Romy nods, tapping her finger on the countertop. "That's helpful. Thanks. I've noticed the same kind of patterns with Gen."
"Not That I've been able to do much with that over the last several years..."

"If she's anything like him at all, you've got yourself a catch," Romy says, a smile breaking out on her face.
"But I couldn't be there for you during all that turmoil with mom and dad. Or their deaths. Or the younger siblings. Do they even know who I am?"

Romy pauses for a moment, smiling at the other girl. "I think we'll be good friends. You seem to make him happy."
"Well... As long as mom and dad didn't make a huge deal out of me being gone..." Tudor sighs. "Please tell me the kids weren't their attempt to, like... I dunno... replace me or fill a hole."

"I try..." Romy's smile softens to something sadder. "It can be really hard sometimes."
Tudor sighs, seeing the look on her face. "Don't lie to me, Gen. You were never good at that."

"Do you ever... I dunno... start to feel like... like maybe they need so much attention from you that you, like, don't quite get what you need from them?" Romy asks siftly after a moment passes. "Like the relationship is all about them?"
"Of course, Gen," Tudor replies, taking her hand. "You can tell me anything."

"I do too. On a much more regular basis than I'd like. And I just- I always feel awfully guilty, you know? Because I shouldn't be, like, jealous of her, you know?"
"What?" Tudor doesn't even recofnize his own voice. "What- what do you mean?"

"I know. I understand where you are coming from."
"I had convinced them to keep Amelie and Magnus at home with neighbor. mom wanted to sleep so dad told her to sleep in the back and let me up front." She says. "I grabbed the wheel and made dad swerve in the the semi's path. I did to to get him to stop. to get him to leave me alone."

"Do you feel like you can, like... ask him for anything? Because I'm always scared to ask for what I need or want."
"Leave You alone?" Tudor questions. "You don't mean..."

"Is it... bad... that I don't feel like I can?" Romy asks,suddenly feeling insecure about the way her relationship works.
"What the hell... How long?"

"Crap." Romy sots down heavily at the table. "What- what am I supposed to do then? I can't just, like, leave it as is. I..." She takes a deep breath. "I really love Gen, you know? I'm just scared that I'll upset her." She sniffles, trying not to cry.
"Holy s***. What... happened to them? Are they okay? Genny, are you Okay? Romy knows this, right?" Tudor asks.

"tell her. She needs to know how you feel." Charis says
"they are at home. Tanya and Amos have guardianship of them. I don't feel like I'm able to take care of them right now ." She says "as for Romy she knows about them but not how they came to be."

"But she's gone through so much!" Romy replies, sniffing back the urge to sob. "And- and she deserves the world and I know that I can't- I can't give that to her but I can at least help her through everything. I just... I'm not sjre that that leaves any room for..."
"You need to tell her, Gen," Tudor says softly. "She seems like a great girl who's totally head over heels for you. She's not gonna judge, from what I can see."

"What if I lose her because I speak up?" Romy says softly, wiping her nose with the back of her sleeve. "I don't know if I could handle that."
"Do it sooner rather than later. I'd hate to see you guys crumble because of this," Tudor tells her quietly.

"I doubt you will lose her."
"okay." She says. She hugs him before going to where she was. "baby I need to talk to you."

Romy gulps, hastily wiping away the tears and hoping that Gen didn't notice. She hops off the seat and takes Gen's hand. "Everything Okay, babes?"

Already on the verge of tears, Romy starts to cry once more. "Oh my god, babes," she whispers, folding Gen into a hug. "Babes, I'm so so sorry..."
Tudor wraps his arms around Charis. "Gen was hiding something major from Romy."
