Just honest curiosity but why are you still with a woman who’s caused you nothing but pain since you’ve met her? Why not dump her? She involves herself with villains, gets in trouble, hurt, worries you; seems like a lot of grief to me. She’s too much trouble for you. Maybe you should find someone better.

[Grits his teeth, defensive – both on Katelynn’s behalf and his own.]

Anon, Katelynn has not caused me “nothing but pain”. Yes, she gets into trouble a lot. Yes, she’s d-done stupid things. But she’s also s-supported and inspired me more than anyone in my life. She has the biggest heart of anyone I know. And she’s tr-trying to get better. A lot of the things that have happened to her weren’t her fault. You c-can’t be mad at someone for being unlucky.

I love her, Anon. It would take a lot more than anything you’ve said to change that.
