"
remember
when
i
kept
saying
that
i
couldn't
be
out
in
the
world
if
things
weren't
good
at
home
?
well
,
that's
what
i
meant
,"
he
said
.
"
what
do
you
mean
?"
she
pressed
.
"
that
if
i
went
out
in
the
world
,
i
would
find
someone
else
."
"
i
had
no
idea
that's
what
you
saying
at
all
,"
she
said
.
why
hadn't
he
ever
used
those
specific
words
about
what
he
feared?
why
did
he
make
her
feel
that
the
only
way
he
could
soar
was
through
clinging
to
her
?
did
she
,
in
fact
,
lead
him
to
the
exact situation
he
feared,
knowing
that
he
would
expand
his
bubble
and
allow
the
idea
of
someone
else
to
penetrate
it
?
