Quotes by Bethany Turner (?)

“I have memories, but I don’t know if they are really mine or if I’ve just seen so many pictures. I think that I remember riding on his sailboat with him, and playing under his desk in the Oval Office, but those images are everywhere, so do I really remember them or just imagine how it all happened?”
― Bethany Turner, Scenes From Highland Falls

“I lose keys because I never put any real effort into holding on to them, but I’ve spent most of my life trying to hold on to you, Phelps. I remember everything about you.”
― Bethany Turner, Scenes From Highland Falls

“I was done. I had loved my allotment. John, Chris, and Sergei. Those three men were the only men I would ever be in love with. I don’t think that Chris or I could have imagined at that moment, however, that never falling in love with anyone besides those three didn’t mean I would never fall in love again.”
― Bethany Turner, Scenes From Highland Falls
