“Mrs. Townsend, there’s a lot that Andrea’s kept to herself over the last few months, but she’s ready to ask for help now. That’s what all this was about.”

“Mom, stop!” Andrea snapped back. “This is exactly why I didn’t come to you in the first place!” Cynthia clammed right up, staring down at Andrea. “Robin listens to me. She’s a GOOD person, and I respect her a lot more than I do you right now, and what you said is EXACTLY why! I’m not going back with you!”
Without warning, she shoved her mother away and ran away from her, right out the back door. I suddenly had visions of the time I got lost in the woods because I was emotionally distraught and confused. That was back in June, not November. |
