"Well..." She ran a finger over the rim of her empty glass. "I'll be honest... I see Lilith and Ogma and their beautiful family together, and they seem so happy... I'd love to have something like that. I'm not expecting it'll be some perfect fairytale or anything, but I spent seven years without any family at all, and it's... it's just something I've wanted. A family of my own. I know it's not something that happens overnight, and, yes, I'm scared of doing something that might lead to hard choices or regrets down the road, but... A girl's got to at least give it a try, right?"

She looked down for a moment, blushing.
"Sorry. I'm babbling."
