Wish
Brown gives me a steady look, “The outside world will give you a worse guarantee. Out there, you will be miserable, alone, and misunderstood. Here, we will give you the tools and the knowledge to survive and choose. And I know this because I was also once standing in your shoes, uncertain of whether I wanted to stay here or not.”
I stare at her, shocked. “What?”
She smiles at me before patting my leg, “I chose to come back. To give back to this place that saved me when I didn’t even know I needed saving.”
