Why does Anne run away from home? How is Hilary able to tell that she’s a runaway like herself?

Anne ran away because when she was a teenager she got sexually assaulted, which resulted in her getting pregnant. She was unable to break the news to her parents so she talked to her her therapist, Grace, a few days before getting an abortion. Anne must have known Hilary was a runaway because Anne must have remembered the feelings she felt when she was homeless and the look in her own eyes that she would give to passers by.
