Linda

Mercy stared at him, desperately wanting to believe. “We killed someone. They’ll lock us up.”

“Levi, you can’t do this,” argued Rose. “We need to call the police.” “Why? So they can arrest Mercy and me? Do you want to testify in court about what you just went through?”
Linda
I'm so frickin confused. She was nearly raped and killed. What other option was there?

Mercy was easy to be around. She didn’t take herself too seriously and had even cracked a half smile at some of his lame jokes.
Linda
Not from where I'm sitting. With the exception of her cracking a smile, literally NONE of those observations are even accurate.She's quite uptight if you ask me. But alas, she's got to be magical enough for somebody to fall in love with her.

Linda
Good grief! I can't with the judginess of this woman. NOT EVERYONE IS LIKE YOU, MERCY!

Will they shut me out? I can’t take the rejection right now.

Oh, Rose. Did I get you in trouble?
Linda
It's what you do best, Mercy. That's what happens when you're selfish.

the moment a man strikes a woman, he stops being a man.

Truman cupped his hands around his mouth. “Hello! Anyone home?”
Linda
Did he seriously just advertise their presence and give the abductor a heads up to prepare for it? Truman, you've been hanging out with Mercy too long, making stupid decisions.
