“POPPY (standing up to Paul): In time, Mom will realize I’m already the woman I’ll always be. I’m not her at eighteen, feeling my way through the world. I’ve figured out what I want and who I am. Mostly, I know exactly what I need to be happy, and they’re all in the house with me now.”

“Silence may avoid fights, but it builds walls. At first, it feels like peace, no arguments, no tension. But slowly, that silence turns into distance. You stop explaining, they stop asking, and one day, there’s nothing left to say at all. The connection fades, not because of anger, but because both hearts stopped trying. Sometimes, silence doesn’t protect a relationship; it ends it quietly. So talk, even when it’s hard. Because honest words heal more than unspoken ones ever will.”

“POPPY: 25 December 2016 POPPY (standing up to Paul): You see family life as respecting boundaries and saying what makes people happy and treating everyone like they’re treasured but only in a sanitized way. I see family life as invading everyone’s privacy and saying whatever I feel and treating everyone as they’re treasured because they’re my family and thus special as compared to the rest of the world. I see a good family as loud and frantic and intrusive...He fits me, and I don’t want to change. Not for you or anyone. I’m deeply in love with myself, and Emmett respects that... “I’m not her (Christine). I don’t have a dream to fix animal boo-boos. Loving Emmett and living close to my family are the only dreams I see as worth having.”

“...behind the scene, under the surface of reality, you are all actors, marvelously skilled at playing parts and in getting lost in the mazes of your own minds and the entanglements of your own affairs, as if this were the most urgent thing going on. But behind the scenes, in the green room - in the very back of your mind and the very depth of your soul - you always have a sneaking suspicion that you might not be the you that you think you are.”
