It was her life. She'd accepted it. Understood that it was wrong. "Women simply weren't educated in my day. Not really." She knew that it wasn't okay what had happened. But why be sad over it? "You are. It was arranged by my parents. I was an abomination. But it's okay. I'm here now not there!"
"It is heavenly. I can take my time and not worry about falling behind. I am grateful." She patted him lightly on the hand. "You'll figure it out though. They'll help." Gesturing to the guidance staff.
