Agnes hung her head low, murmuring, “Jared, you always do this, I’m going to crumble again.”
Jared took Agnes hands in his and replied, “With me around you don’t have to be strong”
A tear threatened to escape Agnes‘ eye, she felt so utterly defeated. It wasn’t the misunderstanding that got to her,

Agnes said, “Jared, thank you”
