Holly isn’t the only one becoming a bit co-dependent. Now that I can feel her hurt and loneliness like my own, I’ve been significantly more touchy-feely with her, doing my best to take care of her every time she comes over, which has attracted my parent’s attention. I just can’t help myself, I want to fill up all the cracks in her psyche the only ways I could figure out how. She certainly seems to appreciate it and draw a certain strength from it, though, which causes the law of unexpected consequences to rear its ugly head once again.
