“She can't help. No one can. I rest my head in my hands and let the flood of hot angry tears fall. I can't even begin to wrap my head around the enormity of it all. She lied to me, probably lied to my dad too.

“It's easy to pretend that nothing's wrong when everything is normal like this... I mean, it's not like I ever forget. It's always lingering in the back of my mind; I just try to keep it as far back as I can. Because thinking about it, it's just too much.”

“This world can be a trying place, Inspector. Sometimes you have to shed who you were to live who you are.”
