“Mary dashed the rain from her eyes with a frozen hand. Was that a knife buried in the man’s chest with the blood seeping up around it? Doesn’t that mean he’s alive? Although with the blade at that angle, it can’t be for long. Colors swam in the water coating Mary’s vision. She rubbed her face, and with every shuttering breath, even before she could see his features, she knew her son, George, the son she had never met, was dead.”

“Callan sucked in a breath. As a sniper, he’d been trained by the Marines to know and recognize moments.
Moments when all the training—his focused mind, muscle memory, weapon knowledge . . .
When all the preparation—target reconnaissance, angle of attack, position scouting . . .
When all the setup—hidden amid the terrain, barrel aimed, trajectory known . . .
When everything came together in one crucial moment—when the sniper squeezed the trigger and took his shot.”

“The child will grow up and find out things for herself. She will know that I lied. She will be disappointed."
"That is what is called learning the truth. It is a good thing to learn the truth one's self. To first believe with all your heart, and then not to believe, is good too. It fattens the emotions and makes them to stretch. When as a woman life and people disappoint her, she will have had practice in disappointment and it will not come so hard. In teaching your child, do not forget that suffering is good too. It makes a person rich in character.”
