But that means you can tell, right? We didn't start with good reasons, either. In fact, there was a time when I really thought I hated her--you could even say I had good reason to with her game and how much I suffered then, enough that I once said that I'd make it a mutual hell.

That doesn't change where we ended up. So intentional or not, good reasons or not--I don't care about that. The fact is that you helped her during a time when she was alone among strangers. You don't have to accept it or keep it, but I'm still going to give you thanks for that.
