She may be a strong woman who likes to order people around and demand respect but she was also loving and caring inside to those who truly listened to her and respected her. Her heart was in the right place. She was just selective in those who were deserving to know her true self. Her pet, the young man, listened to her and respected her and gave her the attention that no one ever truly gave her. He made her feel special. She pampered him in return because she felt he was the other half of her heart. He was the child like innocence and playful nature that she missed out in her life because of her hard childhood.
His presence was therapeutic and comforting to her. She could never demonstrate her true self to her old crush because in the past she would put up a cold exterior in front of him because of her insecurities from her childhood. He never met the true her.
