They've both been far more understanding than they needed to be...even when I didn't deserve it." Looking down at her hands clasped on the table in front of her, her voice grew quiet. "It just...hasn't been an easy thing to decide. And this whole situation with Amber...all I can think of is Ethan..." her voice trailed off as she struggled to put it all into words. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
