The silhouette appeared to be that of a shapeless, shadowy presence, with eerie tendrils reaching out as if they were trying to embrace him.

A woman that will accept you, that if you are totally honest with her … won’t be afraid of you. I never had someone to … to help me. To direct me, and it damn near killed me.
