"She was beginning to be aware of a feeling she thought she could never feel again, something wonderful, warm and exciting but also addictive, poisonous and dangerous.

Or the mind and avoid the pain, but turning into someone she wasn't, someone cold and un-empathetic? Take the chance of living with company or force herself to live a life of solitude, again?"
