Douglas spoke firmly, "Dinna be talking like that lass.  Yur life is important.  Yu canna dae this alone.  Yu 'ave my offer, but I willnae beg.  If yu willna try tae move forward with life, then I cannae make yu dae it.  Just know that yu already 'ave people that care aboot yu.  People think yu are worth 'elping and worth living a safe life."  He paused not angry nor upset.  He just knew it had to be determined by the other person no matter how much you wanted to help them.  "It is up tae yu."
