Lilly's Chat Story
Evie shakes her head. "I can't," she tells him.

The guy looks crestfallen, and Evie feels really guilty, but she has to hold her ground. "Why?" he asks.

"Because I have a family already. My sisters, and my son. That's all I need, and my son's father taught me that." Evie smiles slightly. "They need me and I need them, and none of us want to commit to anyone else that way."

"...What? That's..."

Evie looks at him. "I hurt my family once. It destroyed me. That's why I came to AA for a while. You've met Marley, he means the world to me. He hasn't ever known a father, and he's learnt to cope. These three are my ohana. And I'm happy with that."

"You're happy, huh?"

"Yeah. There's nothing like finding something you lost." She smiles at him again. "Sorry, Lucas." She heads back through the reception. "I have to pick up Marley from daycare. See you Tuesday."
