"I can't believe you stood up in my church and said those things about me. That was the only place I had left to me. The only place that I had where I could try to be something good - and you took that away from me."
"You should have seen the look in their eyes - they knew without being told Annie. The depth of self-deception you seek to encase yourself is truly amazing. How they knew is a very interesting question in itself."
"How much is left? Steve left me after that. He said that it was enough and that while he forgave me for the past he couldn't live with me any longer."
"Sad. After what you had put him through, he should have just put that in the pile with the rest and ignored it. It must be a relief for him to have cancer now. The pain of his skin turning against him is a powerful balance to the failure of love. Both eat away at him."
"Is that it now? Everything I have is gone now."
"You only lost what you intended to loose. Everything, as you call it, is really barely anything. Now you can more fully pursue those other relationships."
"I don't want anything anymore. I play a game that seems to be more real than my life ever was. Even after all that you've done to me - I still want that place, that idea more than anything else. Is that the lesson?"
"You should know that from your days as a prison guard - never stay with an abuser. Maybe he found that being an enabler was too much after so long."
