Moira falls into the hug, unaware until that moment how much she's been craving a gesture such as that to help anchor her to reality. "Thank you, Lou," she mumbles. "I really need this."

"Yeah," she says, pulling back to look at Lou. "It wasn't planned, so to speak. And I've been trying to keep it hidden, for the most part. Lest my mother actually finds out."

"I know," she admits, running a hand through her hair. "I need to make things right with them. All of them. I just seem to be having a hard time of it lately."
