“Shane's dad said, "I should have left you in the damn cage to fry, you ungrateful little bastard. You're no son of mine.""Hallelujah," Shane said softly. Free at last.”
“It destroys one's nerves to be amiable every day to the same human being.”
“you're on the nerve before my last one!”
“The human body essentially recreates itself every six months. Nearly every cell of hair and skin and bone dies and another is directed to its former place. You are not who you were last November.”
“Mine," Shane said. "Move away." HIS? Oh, I am so yours Shane Maxton.”
