Not because I don’t trust him, but because I don’t trust me. Once I start trying to untangle that last bit of the knot, I don’t know what will happen. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to work through it completely, which means even if I start talking about it, I’ll end up just having to pull the knot back tighter in the end. Dr. West and I fixed almost the whole chain. And it’s easier just to wear the necklace the way it is.”
