I pushed the plate away, moaning that I wasn't hungry. "You haven't eaten in days, and you don't get any sleep. If Taurtis loves you back, he won't let this hurt your relationship, so you should stop worrying." Grian reassured me. I shook my head. "That doesn't make me hungry, Grian. What you just said makes me ant to go back in time to stop what made me like this now. I don't mean depressed right now, I mean my past. I want that to change." I explained vaguely. "If you tell me about your past, would that make you feel better?" Grian asked. "Yeah, you charmer." I smiled while I said this.

​​​​​​Well, I knew Grian in the past. I was an only child, and rarely got to see him. My mother and father were always away, on business trips or parties. This left me alone with the maids and the nanny. They bullied me, and no one but Grian noticed. He was always there for me. A growing hate for my parents caused my twistedness, after my mother left me. I wish I could go back in time and change how they were to me.

Grian nodded, hugging my arm sympathetically. "Its not your fault you went insane. Taurtis will understand, believe me. If he doesn't, damn my theory that he accepts Sam's insanity." I laughed. "Grian..? Maybe we could go tomorrow? I don't want to leave it too long..." Grian nodded. "Just eat, get some sleep. I don't want Taurtis to think that I've been ill-treating you."

That night I slept, my mind settled for once.
