And throughout the night, we kept hearing it.

There's no clean end to the journey Saskia's on.

She'll never reach a point when she's fully healed.

No one does after betrayal.

I think healing is a series of smaller wins.

Maybe there will come a day when she'll wake up without her trauma on her mind.

Maybe she'll call her sister or a friend the next time she feels alone.

But for now, just having moments like this again, when she can just be with the people that love her and laugh, that's enough.
