She pretended to be ok. She might have though she actually was ok. Dom knew better. She worked to hard. She was always helping people, and never took any time for herself. She wasn't content to just sit on the sidelines. She always had to be on the move, helping, saving.
And she only came to parties when he dragged her into them. And once she got there she was all fake smiles and laughter. Neal thinks that I'm the only one who can help her. I don't know.
