"I spent the week after..." She stopped then. Deep breath and then she started over. "Bruce left us. I haven't really talked about it with anybody. But he left. He chose to leave." She nodded. " The week after, I spent almost every day in bed. Thinking and sleeping and being upset. I'm tired of thinking. So," she turned to look at Doug, "I'll take you up and make sure you're okay before going."
