She meant a lot to him. A lot. He didn't want to lose her.
Nathalia sighed, "Ok. What do you really mean by 'stay for you' then?"
Spencer hesitated, and finally, he said, not without difficulty, "Give me some more time, please. I need to solve some... my mum is..." But he couldn't continue. It was the biggest secret in the Davidson family.
Nathalia couldn't bear to see the pain in his face. She turned her head away and finished his words, "sick." She had realized that Spencer's mother had a mental illness, though she had no idea if she was born with it or it happened to her later on in life. But it didn't matter. For the Davidsons, it was definitely not something they would want the public to know. No wonder people said Mrs. Davidson had been the biggest mystery.
It mustn't be easy for Spencer either. There's a lot he needs to deal with. Life's not easy for everyone. Nathalia thought. She did not blame him or hate him.
