   Summary

   Wherein Courtney/Visi and Robert work through what it's like to be in a relationship with someone who has a hard time being loved.
   There are a lot of emotions to go through, a lot of baggage to unpack. A lot of self destructive behaviors to undo.
   They'll get there gently and slowly.
   After all, if there was something that Courtney had always wanted it was to be seen and Robert saw her, really saw HER, from day one.
