Wow.

Thank you.

You may go now.

Have a good day.

Thank you.

Wow.

Can't it be that?

No, I haven't.

Yes, you are.

That's where it's going.

Being able to be who she really wanted to be. And she finally, at the age of 40, found freedom. And she was just telling me how she didn't want that for me. And I was still so young.
