"I have not lied to you about anything, Dominique. I have let you see the real me to an extent. There are some major things that I have held back because I have been here before. This is not the first time I have opened up to someone and been left because of it. I just want to make sure you are going to stay after you hear my story, the real one. I don't think I could bear it if you turned away from me."
"Are you a serial killer?"
"No. Why on earth would you ask that?"
"Because I can't see anything that would be that bad that would make me leave. Are you a pedophile?"
"No! That is disgusting," Nathaniel said with a sour look on his face.
"Then you don't have to worry about me going somewhere, Nathaniel. I'm a fighter. I always have been. I fight for what I want until there's nothing left to fight for. Ask Tim if you don't believe me."
