It's worse because I already lost them. I lost them a long time ago and I've had that dream before. But I'm still afraid of losing you. I'm afraid of losing you if I say or do the wrong thing or move too fast or too slow. I'm afraid you'll tell me you just can't again. I don't want to hide things from you. Especially things that are hard for me. I want a partner. [Looking into his eyes, searching. Her voice softer.]
And you aren't trapped. It's just a place. There's a ladder.
