You had been in a toxic and abusive relationship before which left you with trauma, but now with your boyfriend D'andre it is different, there is no more toxicity, but you still have traumas

When you were cooking with D'andre, he stretched his arm where you were to reach something from a cabinet, he didn't expect you to react in a way that you covered yourself, as if you were trying to defend yourself from a hit, D'andre realized

D'andre: “Babe whats happening? Why did you cover yourself?”
