For the kids staying here, she would be strong, maybe even for the people in the multi-colored spandex that seemed to be strangely attracted to her shelter.

Especially considering the fact that she'd been engaged before coming here. She had let go, removed her ring, didn't feel one ounce of guilt about how she felt for Bart...still, it seemed such a blur, so overwhelming. Maybe it was just this city. To survive, you had to cling as close to the right people as you could.
