“My heart is broken," Tiny says, as if the thing has never happened before to him, as if it has never happened before to anyone.”
“I will never belong to anyone—I will die before I allow that to happen.”
“The strangest thing has happened. I really missed my dog. That's never happened to me before. You know, on a long tour you do hear people saying they miss their pets. I never have. But last night I started really missing my dog. It's very odd, 'cause I don't have a dog.”
“To Sara's practised eye, this latest episode looked something like a broken heart, even if she'd never seen the look on him before. Or even imagined it happening. She wondered if he'd noticed yet.”
“All of this has happened before, and it will all happen again.”
“No one has ever needed me before because I’ve never let anyone that far in.”
