Yeah. I get it. Some days it's so far away and it's easy to just stay in the present. That's half the reason I'm taking so many classes and working. All of that fills up my head. And then at night...
[Nadine sighs. Nights are the worst, particularly those where she's alone in her empty bed. It all comes back in the night. She can imagine it's the same for Julie.]
But we really haven't been here that long. Time...it doesn't heal all wounds, but it helps. And I think the more we build our lives here, the further away all that stuff from before is going to seem. It's never going to go away, we're never going to forget it or leave it behind completely, but we can sure as hell get further away from it.
[Easier said than done, especially with so many memories brought freshly back like this. There's no distance now, that thin veneer of time stripped away brutally.]
