"I grew up weird and strange and harsh...but let me tell you the things I learned," Clarice sighed trying to feel her way through it. "I saw marriages, for power, for protection, to stay safe. That's not love though. Love isn't about getting something you can't get yourself. It isn't about who keeps you safe at night or who puts bread on your table, laws or gender, or even species. It's about want. The person you want to be with, and worth, for no reason you can explain in something so simple as a need. Mr. Creed used to tell me people looked for soul mates, someone to complete them...and that was bullshit. You can't judge love by need, never could. If you're not complete on your own you'll always wonder if it's love or just having a crutch."
