“I don’t deserve this. I don’t deserve you… only I deserve to be on the run, not you.”
“I’m here every step of the way, Red. Every step. I won’t leave you, I promise you. No matter how hard you push me away, I will push back twice as hard, because I know you feel it… we will get through this because once it’s over, we’re going to be… free.”While the couple is on the run, Abi is back home trying to help clear their names. With her resources, not only are they able to stay afloat comfortably, but they have some hope that just maybe they’ll be okay. That they can come out of this unscathed.
“How do I look at you?”
“Like I’m worth looking at. Like I’m worth something.”
“You don’t realize how much you’re worth.”
We all have baggage. Ours is just a little more fucked up than others, and that’s what draws us to one another- two broken, fucked up souls.
“Life is what you make it. And you make it unforgettable.”
No matter how hard you push me away, I will push back twice as hard because I know you feel it.
"A Siren? Didn't they lure sailors to their deaths?"
Quinn smiles, brushing back his hair. "Yes. But those sailors happily went to their watery graves, having heard and seen the beautiful water goddesses. You see, they looked innocent and sounded angelic, but underneath all that beauty lay a powerful, misunderstood woman--like you. And if I were to die...I would be just like those sailors," he whispers, his mind in a faraway place.
"What happened to the little boy?" I ask, realizing we've stopped in front of the place I've dreaded seeing.
Quinn turns to me as he shuts off the engine. "He grew up and realized that it's okay to make mistakes because you've always got tomorrow to make amends."
“Don’t change who you are for people who don’t even know who they are. You’re beautiful, inside and out.”
“And I’m here every step of the way, Red. Every step. I won’t leave you, I promise you. No matter how hard you push me away, I will push back twice as hard, because I know you feel it.”
“From the crown of my head, to the soles of me feet, my body is alight. And the reason for that inferno is Quinn Berkeley.”
“He grew up and realized that it’s okay to make mistakes, because you’ve always got tomorrow to try and make amends.”
