[ dorothy isn't someone who seeks permanence or responsibility or stability. it's easier to leave people than to be left, and she expects everyone to leave sooner or later -- but at the same time, she thinks there's no shame at all in seeking out contact.
especially not for a kid. or teenager. she remembers all too well what it was like to be young, to think her mother had left her. (she had.)
she gives him a nod, firmer than she feels. she may only be twenty, but she's the adult in this. she's a nurse. she's got to be steady and calm, that's her job. ]
