“Dad?" "Yeah?" "She the reason you’re pissed off all the time?" "Yeah." "She the reason you left mom?" "Yeah." "You love her?" "Yeah." There was a long pause. "Cool." "…yeah." "Dad?" "Jesus, Cage. What?" "Does this mean I can have at Miranda?" Christ. "Yeah, you fuckin' hornball. Have at it." "Cool.”
“She's your mother. She loves you. How can you hide from her?""Her love is like the sun. Get sunstroke if you stand in it too long.”
“He cleared his throat, "Zoe, i think you said you love me.""I did say it. I do love you with all my heart.""I see." There was a long pause, then he said, "For how long has this been going on?""I don't know," she said, "Sometimes i think it started a long, long time ago.""You might have mentioned it.""I didn't want to encourage it," she said, "I thought it was a bad idea.”
“She smiled at him, with longing. 'Where do you live,' she asked, 'and how do I get there?”
“How long do you want me?" he asked.How long can I have you? I thought.”
