[Mandy sighs, nodding too knowingly] Yeah. Since I got divorced, I don't think I've had a relationship longer than three months. Some of them, that was a great thing because I was probably not so unconsciously seeking out people like him, or they just knew my reputation and figured I'd be up for just about everything from the start. Which I was, but that's hardly the point.. But others...

[she shrugs. She knows she sometimes wonder if she let go of someone who could have been good for her because she was so scared of being wrong again, of just falling for another version of Brian who wore a beautiful mask just long enough to lure her in]

Which I guess in some ways is why I think this place is so much better. No one besides Arthur seems to know who my husband was, what my cage looked like, so I can start figuring out how to really be...whatever I was before I went into it.
