Reviewing the previous conversation, except for the part about bringing girls home, I took Claire's words very seriously, it is true that all my life I have put her needs and her happiness above mine, when we were little it seemed so natural to pamper her and when we grew up, the habit took root in me, after what happened with our parents and the promise I made that day, I guess I never even consider changing my way of seeing things.
Somehow reaching that realization felt liberating, it did not mean that I would stop caring about Claire, but that now my emotions and my happiness were things that I had the right to worry about. I don't know why my body started to feel strange after this thought came to my mind, but almost instinctively I knew what I had to do about it.
