Anika hiccuped and sniffled, wiping at her face with the back of her hand,<br/><br/>"I..I'm sorry Jack...just everything has pilled up and I just feel like I can't be strong anymore, I feel alone even though I am not and still scared...I know this is a safe place but I've been unsafe for so long its really new to me.. *hic*..." she said in a sad voice.<br/><br/>She looked up at him with glistening wet eyes as he offered her some candy? She hadn't had anything sweet like this before except for fruit and juices, Anika gladly took it from him and smiled,<br/><br/>"T..Thank you....*hic* I'm sorry for being so emotional.....mmm! this is good."
