But she feels like you aren't whoever you were in America."
He shut his eyes. "She told me a little, like your real name and.. your dad.. and something about debtors. I mean, I get it. I'm not telling anyone anything. And i know it wasn't my business to know. Water under the bridge, I swear." He made a gesture of his mouth being silenced. " But you should tell her more, I know she's a kid and you are trying to protect her. But it's like telling her not to go out, instead of her letting you know she leaves she'd sneak out and you have no idea where she went. Sometimes, you just need to trust in people even to make mistakes."
