“That's your problem, Jesse. You want to fix things by distracting me with your touch instead of talking to me and giving me some answers. I can't let that happen again.”

“Never Ava.All I need is you and for you to need me. Nothing else." Jesse”

“your arrogant God wants to spend the rest of his life smothering you with his love and his body." Jesse”

“Just yours, Ava. Tell me you love me.”

“Don't you want to fall into bed and let me pay special attention to you all day?”

“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 just wanted you to stay. I was stunned when you told me that I had a nice hotel." He smiles a little, and I feel stupid. "Things got pretty intense, pretty quickly. I didn't know how to tell you. I didn't want you to run away again. You kept running away.”
