    Summary

    5 times where Dani didn’t need Malcolm (and 1 time she did)
    --
    Dani’s been taking care of herself for as long as she can remember. It’s not that she doesn’t have people in her life who aren’t concerned about her; she has relatives, she has friends, she has a work family. It’s not about having a lack of support.

    It’s about trust and the fact that she doesn’t give it easily. She’s been working to fix it but currently it’s not one of her strong suits. In her experience it’s hard to depend on someone; she’s learned that people leave, that people are far too capable of disappointing her.

    It’s because of that she doesn’t let many people in—a defense mechanism, but it’s one that works.
