Horen had curled up after she left. He was trying to bury hs emotions again. He wanted desperately not to feel what hed never allowed himself to feel...... He had found hope here, with her..... And he felt free for the first time since he lost his parents..... But hed closed his heart to feelings long ago.... Afraid to feel the loss.... And now it haunted him. he was feeling the emptiness of being alone...... And every emotion hed ever buried was there in the back of his heart. Straining to break free, to be let go..... But he was afraid to feel..... Afraid of what he was supposed to be now that he wasnt beaten every hour........ He was so distraught and distracted he hadnt heard her come back. But her words left him speechless as his heart confusedly tried to make sense of his feelings, and of her words.....
