Quote by Jane Harvey-Berrick

“I hated hearing her talk about her ex-husband, and I definitely didn’t want to hear that he’d taught her to sail. That skewered my heart. I knew it was irrational to hate something that had happened long before Caro and I had gotten together, but I did. I hated every single second that she’d ever spent with him. I hated that he’d been her first. I hated that he’d nearly broken her, and if I ever saw that fucker again, I wouldn’t be responsible for my actions.”

I didn’t want you to smile at them. I don’t want you to smile at anyone but me. It rubs me raw to see you—” He stopped and drew a ragged breath. “But you’re a woman people will always want to smile at and touch and—” He broke off again. “So I’d better get used to it, hadn’t I”

“While it was true that I knew very few women, I was convinced that Anya must have been the loveliest of them all. I felt always vaguely disappointed every time I saw her eyes light up when she was in Robert's presence for that is when they shined the brightest. He could be wearing dirty clothes, be covered in filth and she'd still think him the greatest boy alive.”
