“I'm making it my mission objective. I'll do anything.”

“I'm going to make you happy for the rest of my life, baby. Lets dance.”

“The sex is just sex. I can't get close enough to you. The control is because I'm frightened to death that something will happen to you...that you'll be taken away from me. I've waited too long for you, Ava. I'll do anything to keep you safe. I've lived a life with little control or care. Believe me, I need you..please...please don't leave me.”

“I'm going to make this all right. I'm going to make you remember, Ava.”

“No, you're not." He sounds very confident. "Ava, you've found out the worst about me and not run a mile. Well, you did, but you came back." He kisses my forehead. "Do you honestly think I'm bothered about my age?”

“Because, Ava, it's in my past where I want it to stay. I don't want anything affecting my future.”

“I'm going to worship you every day for the rest of my life.”
