*Corrine shakes her head.* It's not just that, though. It's the fact that you want to teach me, but you also realize I'm not a little kid. I know I'm skittish and withdrawn and naive. But people haven't seemed to realize that doesn't make me _stupid_-- and I'm not half as naive as people think. And you _get_ that.
*She sits down at the kitchen table, beginning to fiddle with her house keys.* Greg was my first boyfriend-- only boyfriend. I met him when I first moved to Metropolis.
And I don't want to make it seem like he was a control freak or something, because he wasn't. But he was always behind me, always checking up with me. Always lecturing me, 'Corri, I can't keep taking care of you'. I didn't need taking care of then, and I don't now.

And I appreciate you realizing that, that's all.
