"It's so hard," she says in a rush, looking over at Katie. "He's so young. He's so young, Katie, and it hasn't hurt him yet. The shit that hit me? That made me like this? He has none of it, and I look at him, and I see- He's so good for our boys, and all I can think is how much the man I married hated me."

She shook her head. "And now he's gotten stabbed, and it's just like it was before. Before, back home. I'm- I'm so scared that when he finds out - that it's going to hurt him, that it's going to make him more like the man I married. More like the Jax who I left behind, and-" Tara shook her head. "I can't lose him. I don't know what to do."

She didn't expect Katie to have the answers, but any sort of advice.... it would be a far sight better than what she'd had before.
