"I'm sorry if what Jack said might make you start thinking of Eli in another way. It wasn't my intention to tell you to mess up your relationship but I had to tell you so you could look out for anything which might harm your life. I'd feel guilty not telling you and then something bad happens," Jennifer explained. She started to feel bad for telling Helen this considering how good the relationship with Eli was going.
If Jennifer was in Helen's shoes, even though she knew how much her boyfriend loved her enough to not hurt her, Jennifer would still be cautious and worried. It was not like every day someone warned you about your boyfriend and his family.
"I'm happy you told me, Jennifer. I wouldn't want to be left in the dark about something like this. I'm not doubting Eli won't hurt me but I'm realizing how much it would hurt if he did."
