Only Time Will Tell

Two little girls meet, each one familiar with the pain of a lifetime. Neither, therefore, are very trusting creatures; but when they are forced together, is there any way they'll be able to put aside their distrust and be able to get along? Could these two possibly be good for each other, perhaps build a friendship... or even a little more, later down the road? It may be inconceivable to them, but they may need each other more than either could come to realize until it is too late.
