And I had run away with an objective and failed.
[Once more she pointedly tries to return back to the real story. Drawing a breath, she nods.]
As for my running away - that's right. I knew it probably wasn't a good idea, but at the same time I knew something needed to be done. That's the only way I knew how to deal with things, so I acted.
