She knew that her future was no longer the same as theirs.
Her road, which had seemed so straight and steady then, had veered sharply away from theirs.

Everyone was nice.
She saw it in their eyes, she heard it in their voices.

I'll be good, I promise.
I'll be good for ever.
But she knows, he would never walk through the door again.
She loves you lots.
