Quotes edit see section history

• “"Ever since she was a tiny little thing, my nine-year-old daughter's been talking about someone named Ethan. The first time I caught her, I was walking past her bedroom. The door was open a crack and I heard her whispering. I remember she was sitting on the floor with her dolls around her talking to someone I couldn't see. Her eyes looked all glassy like she was in some kind of trance. She said: "Remember that time you kissed me by the fountain?" "What was that?" I asked, and Haven jumped like I'd caught her in the middle of something. "Who are you talking to?" "Ethan." "Which one is Ethan?" I thought she was talking about one of her dolls, which made her laugh. "Ethan's not a doll. He's real." "Well then, if he's real, where is he?" "Dead," she said."”
