Cassie drew circles in the sand with one finger as Cissie spoke. She could feel tears behind her eyes. "I don't mean to shut you out." Her voice is barely above a whisper. "I don't know...some things I don't know how to talk about and other things I feel like...I shouldn't. It's not fair to the rest of you." She blinked, the tears were really threatening. "But I guess that's not fair to you either...I'm sorry."

Why does it so often feel like everything she does hurts someone....or everyone?
