“Okay you know what, I'm through with you and your threats and your blackmail. Just go ahead and kill me already”

“I'm over your lies and I'm over your games. I'm over you asking me when you know I'm not okay.”

“You, yesterday, did the usual things, just as any day, You don't know if it's worth remembering. You would prefer to remember, there lying in the half-darkness of the bedroom, not what has happened already but what is going to happen. In your half-darkness your eyes would prefer to look ahead, not behind, and they do not know how to foresee the past.”

“Dodge, I'm going to tell you something.""Judging by your tone, you're going to have to kill me after. Frankly, I'd just as soon not known.”

“If you ask me if I'm okay again, I'm going to smack myself in the face just to punish you.”

“Here's what we're gonna do. You're going to give me that doubt. You're just going to hand it to me, and I'm going to hold it for you. I'm going to keep it for as long as you need me to. For the rest of our lives. I will be your safe place. The place you get to be soft. Right here, just like this. When you leave my arms, you leave whole. Because you already are.You're not broken sweetie, you're human. You're incredibly strong. You're a wonder. You'll return to your team as the warrior you've always been. And you'll know that at any time, you can come to me, and you'll know my arms are strong enough." Sigh”
