“Because, I’m tired of you calling his bitch-ass your husband. Call him Robert or Mattison or anything but your husband. Fuck him! If you want me, if you want us, then let’s do this, but seriously, fuck him, Doc. He doesn’t deserve your fidelity.”
“You think she’d be here if your ass would stop pushing me away? I don’t want her, Doc. I want you.”
“Robert, I want you to be clear about something. The only reason your ass is not dead right now is because I want Renee, and I want her bad. I don’t have time for her to mourn you. So you get to live. Consider it a gift.”
“Doc, I will rip a motherfucker’s beating heart out their chest if they even look at you the wrong way. And what I don’t finish, Rell will.”
I want you to heal, but I’m so damn selfish, I want you to heal for me, so we can have a future together. I’m asking you to believe in me, Doc. Believe in me and what I’m saying. Believe in us.
“You need help.” “I know, and you won’t help me.”
“The only thing I need, the only thing I’ll ever need, is you, Renee. I love you. You’re everything to me, baby.”
I picked up the ring and slipped it back on my finger. “Good, because I think I love this ring more than I love you.” “Give me that damn ring back,” he said, with a huge grin on his face. I rested my hand on his cheek. “Never.”
“Baby, this love we have, it’s got a mind of its own. It’s wild and urgent and fucking beautiful. It’s so strong and consuming and sometimes, I love you so much I feel like I’m gonna lose my mind, but I don’t want it to change. I want to be just as passionate about you in fifty years as I am today, but I have to admit it makes me a little crazy, and the thought of losing you…it’s too much for me. Way too much. That shit makes it hard for me to even breathe.”
