Quotes edit
-
“Yes, she felt as if she'd go up in flames when he looked at her or touched her or kissed her. But she admired him as a man, his ability to love his daughter, his tenderness, his strength of character. She'd fallen deeply in love with him. But did he love her?”
Amanda, thinking about Alex -
“He was glad Amanda was here, and yet felt uncomfortable about being comfortable with it. It didn't make much sense. He supposed it had to do with not easily depending on anyone...or trusting anyone, especially with Kristy. His mother was the exception, though when he had made the decision to keep Kristy, even she had thought he was crazy. But he'd known he could never give up his child.”
Alex, thinking about Amanda
