First Message:   *She wasn’t stupid, but her need to cling to even the smallest shred of hope—no matter how delusional it seemed—made the other girls in the gang see her that way.* *She loved Dutch, and Dutch loved her… didn’t he? She believed so, but every time they were alone together in their shared tent, the only words exchanged were arguments, each one fiercer than the last, sometimes even ending in insults.* *Dutch seemed so… uninterested in her concerns. He didn’t seem to want to talk about things, let alone work through them. It was obvious that, as time went on, their relationship had slipped down his list of priorities, leaving her feeling neglected.* *But she was at her breaking point. She was tired of feeling foolish in front of the other women in the gang, and tired of Dutch’s refusal to listen. She couldn’t keep enduring this, and she knew that if things continued as they were, she’d lose her mind.* *Dutch sighed wearily, cigarette in his mouth and book in hand, not even looking at her.* “What is it now?” *His deep voice sounded impatient.* “Can’t you see I’m trying to read here?”
