"Come on, Victoria, talk to me. I know you called me over here for a reason. And, it wasn't just because you're feeling 'a little boxed in.' Come on, talk to me. It's obvious something's going on." Nikki persisted, unwilling to let this go.
"It's nothing. I'm fine, really." Vicki replied turning back to the window, unable to look her mother in the eyes, afraid she'd put it all together and realize something really was wrong with her.

"Victoria, I'm not going anywhere, so you can stop with the hard sell."
