“She’s seen what love can do. She has seen friends in the same
world fall for people who say, ‘I’ll change your life. And no this
isn’t just sex, this is love.’ And she has seen them destroyed by
that. Also her complicated relationship with her family means she
doesn’t want to ever have to rely on anyone else other than
herself. Because she’s happy to be angry at herself. The idea of
being vulnerable to someone else, she can’t be dealing with
that. It’s a purposeful cut off she did initially in order to survive
doing what she does. Charlotte thinks if you take love out of
the equation you can’t get hurt.” – Jessica Brown Findlay
