“I did it! I stopped time.[Hampton Green]”
“So, I am Mr. Hampton again. It seems that I am only Julian when you forget yourself." "I...that is..." "We have known each other more than half our lives, Pen." She had not even noticed what she called him. "I do not want you to call me Mr. Hampton in private conversation ever again.”
“I never stopped loving you. I never did. I never loved you, not: I never did stop loving you.”
“He stops just close enough for me to see the blue of his eyes and forget the red on my hands and the green I wish I wore.”
“When did I stop being me?”
“As much wrong as I did in life and as many people as I hurt, I can say that God never stopped talking to me. I just stopped listening.”
