“Sophia is not my second chance. She is my heavenly gift.”

“It was like the sun had appeared again in my life, Sophia, You. You changed everything when you stepped into that room. You have a freshness, a strength, an allure, I’ve never seen before. The way you walk, talk, hold yourself. The way you move your hands, these long red nails. You’ve become the light of my life.”

“Sophia is worth a change. I have to make the right choices from now on.”

“That night as they slept in each other's arms neither Alistair nor Sophia had any nightmares.”

“If you give me but another chance, I’ll fight all my inner demons and rebuild my life with you. I’m never going to hurt you again, mo chridhe. I swear it.”

“Sophia, you’re the best thing that could have happened to Alistair. I’ve never seen him happier than he is now.”

“I don't need to be liked because I'm rich. There's more to me than just my bloodied damn money.”
