[She still doesn't want to touch the idea that it's her dad BOB is using. But ... it looks like Heather DOES know. And that means she's already in danger. It creates a bit of a dilemma, but ultimately Laura decides she still doesn't feel ready to admit to what's been happening.]
[The thought of it all makes it a little harder for her to breathe and right now, she's just sitting there feeling a weird kind of pressure all over. Like being in water, maybe.]
[No one had ever BELIEVED her. Here was one that would, so why was it so hard to just ... give into that and try to trust a little?]
[Unless it was some sort of elaborate joke, of course.]
... but if he didn't hurt you, then ... HOW do you know all that? BOB doesn't ... he wouldn't TELL you.
