happened to her. Macy goes to put her purse away. Thorne says to himself

Venice. He says that He and Brooke were tricked and that the marriage
never should have taken place. He says that he has to tell her now.
Thorne tells her that he knows that she has something to tell him, but
that first , but she stops him. She tells him that her news was so
exciting and so unexpected. She tells him that she is ready to make her
contribution to the world and that it was all thanks to him, and
especially what happened in Amsterdam. He tells her that he must first
tell her what happened in Venice. She tells him that she would love to
talk about Venice, but she needed to talk first. She said that she was a
different woman than the one who got on that plane to Europe. She tells
him that she went to an AA meeting and met this woman named Roberta. She
said that she understood everything that the woman was going through,
because she was there at one time herself. She said that for the first
time she spoke at a meeting. She said that she was asked to be Roberta's
sponsor, and to help her through those first difficult days of sobriety.

at it. Macy believes that there is a reason that she can do this now.

in years. She tells him that them being together has changed her. Thorne
tells her again that they need to talk. He says that everything happened
so fast. She tells him that they should sit down and talk about it. Macy
tells him that he can be completely honest with her. Thorne said that he
would be. Macy tells him that she is so much stronger. She tells him
that she wants to help people. She said that he may find her being a
sponsor intrusive because she might get calls in the middle of the night
to help someone. She told him that the promises that they made in Venice
made her strong, because she had never felt so secure in her life. They
flash back to their time in Amsterdam. Thorne had promised Macy that he
loved her, and that he would never do anything to hurt her again. Macy
had a lot of negative doubts about them getting married, but Thorne
promised that he would always be true to her. In the present, Macy tells
Thorne that when he said those words to her, she knew that he meant
them, or she would never have married him. She said that she would thank
God for him and his honesty everyday. She tells him that him that he is
a wonderful man. He tells her that he is as weak and vulnerable as the
next guy, maybe more so. She tells him that he has a lot of integrity.
He tells her that he is nothing special. She tells him that he gives her
the strength to fight her demons. She then says that she has been going
on and on when he had something to tell her. She decides to let him
talk. Thorne looks perplexed.
