““All I needed was a bit more time to get my head straight. I experienced a life-or-death situation when I was with Brock in the woods. Then I watched my husband kill him. Then I was shot by my husband. Sure, he was a good shot, but that didn’t make it okay. I just needed more time to get over it.””
