"I think sometimes I did it that first time because I was hopin' it might bring him back," she admits. "I know that's silly and I knew even then that he wasn't comin' back. Not after what was done to him. I knew, but I thought if there was anything that could do it, it would be that. He would've been so mad at me, so disappointed." She smiles a little and takes another sip of water. "He would've tried to ground me for weeks, I bet, even though there really wasn't much hope for goin' out and havin' a social life anymore."
