Right, no matter what I say I can't help but think that it's the sort of thing that a person has to come to see on their own.

Crouch isn't awful to her, but he's not at all what she deserves.

And I'm not sure she ever expects a man to care for her except exactly in the way that Crouch does. I mean, I've never actually heard her think that, this is just the conclusion I've come to based on things I've noticed about her over time.

It's a bit depressing, but you'd be surprised how many women and girls think that way.
