“Butch, let me help you."He cursed. "What if-""What ifs don't cut it." She took a deep breath. "I won't lie. I'm scared. But I don't want to turn my back on you and you're a fool to try and make me."He shook his head, respect in his eyes. "You always been this courageous?""No. But it appears that for you, I guess I am.

“I like all the angels around because they protect me and my daughter. I mean, her Dad's an angel.”

“But I am still far from them, and my sense does not speak to their sense. To men I am something between a fool and a corpse.”
