Teddy put a hand under her chin and made her eyes meet his. "What's so bad about wanting to help your family? This really isn't an ideal way to make money, but maybe if we don't tell Mom and Dad we'll be able to get back on our feet and you can quit."

That's not how anyone else would ever see it, Teddy. To them, I'd just be...a used whore. And how would it ever stay quiet? Can you imagine how Mom and Dad would look at me if they- *She bit her lip hard, trying to hold in her sobs again.* And it will keep me here, until I am dead...And oh, God- I will never see him again!
((I am totally not stealing slightly from The Other Boleyn Girl- never! ;D ))

I know he's married now. I know they have a child...I know there's absolutely no chance of him ever- but I wanted to go back and at least say good-bye. *She looked up at him, her pale, thin face streaked with tears.* But how can I ever look him in the face ever again?

He sighed. "I don't know, but what else can you do?"

Flee to a convent? Erase my memory? Die?
