Michael's heated gaze seemed to have an easily startling effect and she squirmed in place working to contain her excitement. At his request she hesitated, trying to think. Her time away had been filled with all sorts of hardships and lessons learned. But there were some great times too.
"Let's see," she began, sitting back in the booth. "It wasn't easy or glamorous," she admitted, pressing her glass to shift around in the condensation on the table. "But it somehow made everything better in a strange way." She paused, trying to find the words to explain and make him see what she meant. "Like, there were some nights that my roommates and I were so broke that we could barely scrape by enough to eat. But then there were days that we would get enough money to go out and have the time of our lives on almost nothing. There was a seedy little club we used to go to that was unbelievably dirty and grimy but we were so caught up in the moment and the beat that we didn't even care. I guess we just appreciated every little silver lining, you know?"
"Worrying about bills sucked like nobody's business, but there was never any huge expectations outside of that. You just got to live life, do what you wanted to and even if you didn't have much, what you did have was totally yours. Like a shitty beater car," she admitted with a rueful grin. "There was a time that my roommates and I decided that we were going to go on a road trip out to the Grand Canyon. We blew out a tire halfway there and didn't have a spare but this couple stopped and helped us out for nothing in return. That's just how some people are. And when we finally got there we slept under the stars and it was the most amazing view. You could even see the edge of the galaxy," she finished, her eyes going a bit distant. Shaking her head to bring herself out of the memory she gave him a smile.
"It's hard but there's nothing like being out on your own," she ended, taking another sip of her water.
