Memorable Quotes
-
“I shake my head, too miserable to speak. I know now that I'm the only one who really understands the threat and if I'm ever going to be free of him, really free, once and for all, then I will have to bite the bullet and spend time in his company. Stake out the sacrificial lamb. Uncoil the rope so he can hang himself.”

Meredith -
“<I> Memorize his face so when I close my eyes I can still find him.”
