Elena was surprised to hear Doctor Vesta's question. It was very simple, yet very hard to answer. It was true that she was too young to get married in this modern day and age. Should she tell the doctor the truth?
It would be embarrassing to let an outsider know that Elleard 'bought' her and she grew to love him after they lived together. And also... his weird request where he told Elena to fuck another man before he would sleep with her. Just thinking about having that conversation with someone else.
All in all, Elena's marriage with Elleard was not conventional and maybe it would be difficult for other people to understand their family dynamic. She was worried that Doctor Vesta would judge her.
"I'm sorry if my question offended you," the doctor spoke gently. "I know it's not easy to trust other people. So, you can just talk to me at your own pace."
