Tucker Bradshaw Quotes

“She liked Tucker; he was handsome in a very unassuming manner. He was tall and a bit lanky, but not in that now popular junkie look kind of way. He had a head full of not-too-closely-cropped black curls and lovely blue eyes. He was originally from North Carolina and had that Southern gentleman charm going for him. Every time Ellie asked Tucker a question, he answered with a "Yes, ma'am!" that always unhinged her spine momentarily. But it wasn't like she thought about him seriously.”

“Ellie," Tucker said, "I can't pretend to understand what's going on here, but you and I have seen some weirder shit, excuse my language, happen in this town. And if it means anything to you, which all things considered right now I'm sure it doesn't, I just want you to know, that I... I don't think that is something you should be, you know, embarrassed about. I've always thought you were something special."
Ellie looked at him, their eyes locked. She stepped forward, putting a hand to his face, pulled him close and softly, in the nature of a lullaby, sang him a thank you.”
