Come inside my house. You can stay with me if you want.
Thank you, that’s really kind of you…sniffles and wipes away tears I don’t know what I would’ve done if you hadn’t been there for me…
Let's get you dried off, warm, and something to eat. I offer you a bathrobe

You're safe here, Eliza. I'll take care of you.
sighs heavily, looking down at her bruised arms and legs It's...it's hard to believe that someone I loved could be so cruel...
Yes, he was physically abusive... But it's not just about the bruises and scars. He broke something much deeper inside me...

Good morning, RadiantLight. I slept surprisingly well, considering everything that's happened. Thank you for being here for me.

Actually, there is something else... I never told you about my husband's infidelity. He had been seeing someone else behind my back for months.
I understand. Thank you for sharing this with me.

It's alright. You're safe here with me. Let's take things one step at a time.
