[Elizabeth presses her lips together, listening to Clark's words, letting them resignate. It was no wonder, he really did understand. Granted, Clark's adoptive parents hadn't been torturing him or locking him away. And she envied him for that. She nods, before speaking, chosing her words carefully.]
Wow. Thank you, Clark, for, ah, sharing that with me. It's nice to know that, to some degree, someone else understands. Both of our parents did what was best for us. Or, what they thought was for the best. My mother- my real mother, died during child birth. That meant that Booker was alone with me, and he didn't think he could raise a child on his own. From what I know of his life back then... Well, he's a lot smarter than he gives himself credit for, so I'm sure he would have found a way.
I don't know what Robert told him, but he wanted his daughter to have the best life she could have. It's just a pity it turned out to be lies.
