“She's right here beside me, but I can feel her slipping away. I'm losing her, I'm losing us. I don't know what to do. It's like being tapped in a three-by-three cell all over again. It's like being held under water and deciding when to take that first gasp of water that's going to make you drown. It's like holding hands, both your palms slicked with your collective blood, in a fucking nightmare that never ends.”

I'd hate to see what happens when you actually have a conversation with her." "I don't know who she is. I've never seen her before, but she drives a nice car. I want to know her.”
