'The feeling of being wanted is such an unknown feeling to me. My whole life I have kept to myself, avoiding any more human contact than absolutely necessary. I used to think that I enjoyed being in my own company but with Noah and Georgia's relentless attempts to try and 'break down my walls'... I've come to realise that I'm tired of being lonely. Maybe that's the reason that I swing my bag onto my back and follow Noah back inside. '
