"When we were young, it was so tough for Ava. She wasn't allowed to go out with her friends ever and even if she was, she was given a very pathetic deadline."

"We were talking about this yesterday and Ava told us how it was very tough for you because you couldn't enjoy your childhood like Noah and other guys of your age." Intertwining their hands together, she further explained, "I know you both did not have a really normal childhood and there were many restrictions which were not necessary but there is no point dwelling over the past anymore."
