       "The driving yesterday went as well as expected; she picked it up quickly and recalled everything I had told her. Our time to do so was limited because of my work, but to sit there and watch her learn something for the first time, it felt right. Everything we do sits right with me now, I don't worry when she goes to work or that I won't be home until the early hours. We still lock the door, almost out of habit now, but that is all we do in fear that someone might come knocking. 

      I don't believe that anymore, that anyone is coming for us. 

      When I got home, I could tell that something was bothering her. It's not rare that she stays up until I get home, but she looked distraught. Her eyes, despite being almost black underneath, lit up when I got home, they always do when she is still awake, but I caught the look on her face before and something was bothering her.

      I didn't ask, instead I decided to cheer her up."
