Feeling John's hand on her own made her glance at him and nod, smiling slightly, "I know, but that makes it so much harder to leave this time. Last time I was so focused on getting out of our dorm room alive, I didn't think about anyone else, let alone her. Now I've got her back in her life? It's harder to leave, even though I need to" she explained to John, before continuing on to reply to Serena.

"and yeah, it does feel like forever, but no doubt they had a much calmer time than we did" she smiled softly, glancing at Serena through the rear view mirror before bsck at the road in front of her. "I couldn't have done this without you both though, I'm always going to be grateful to you both for this" she added.
