Hana felt bad with what she said. She averted her gaze from his and said, "I didn't say anything wrong. How can you be more forbearing than a woman?"

Forrest breathed deeply. “I'll be very busy soon," he told her. “I'll find a place to stay near the company.”

"No!" Hana disagreed, "You should stay at home! If you were here, I could at least help you keep an eye on Laura and make sure she wouldn't hurt yous"

“She's gone," he interjected bitterly. "Completely gone. She won't ever come back, so stop fretting about it."
