A truth should exist, it should not be used like this. If I love you, is that a fact or a weapon? - Margaret Atwood



Cissie hates that things with her mother are so complicated. They're much better than they used to be. Not living together and having a few hours drive between them have helped, but she hates that that's what it took. She hates a lot of things when she stops to think about it, so she tries not to. She also hates that she still feels like she needs her mother's approval, even if she tells herself she doesn't.

( She hates being nervous to tell her own mother the amazing things that are making her happy. )
