[ she seems, at once, like she doesn't want to talk about it and also like she's been wanting someone to talk with about it. ]

Let me tell you somethin', as someone who's lived a not-so-good life and found a way-too-good guy, you'd be surprised at how quickly those kinds of people accept you at your worst and find a way to love you in spite of it.
