“You’ll jump,” she whispers, “on the day when you need it most.”
“Did Dad ever look for Aunt Sarah after she left?” I ask. “I’m not sure,” she says briskly, staring at her computer screen. “I know they spoke, but he never wanted to talk to me about it.”
“You’ve never seen a single photo?” I ask. “She was strange about it apparently, hated having her picture taken.”
Her mouth sags and then her eyes brim with tears. “Oh honey,” she says, as the tears start to fall. “No, I don’t think it is.”
I think it has something to do with her fathers death
continue to cry, though. There’s so much he doesn’t know.
What does that mean?
It’s like we can’t avoid getting pregnant no matter what we do.
Someone is messing with their birth control and contraceptives so that they keep winding up preggo
“You hit the buzzer?” she asks.
I don’t think she did though
Because Nick is going to make me do a bad thing.
Whaaaaaaat?
“Quinn?” my mother demands. Her voice is sharp, startled. I sit bolt upright in my chair. “Yes. Why?” She is silent for a moment. “No reason.”
“No,” she replies. “I just…I have dreams occasionally, about you and Ryan, fighting over a girl.”
“Well, my mother’s still alive and they never found your father’s mother after she disappeared, so I assume that means they didn’t find a ring either.”
I’m struck silent by the admission. I think of Grosbaum telling us about his missing wife. Is it a coincidence my grandmother disappeared too?
She’s always doted on me to such an extent that it was a shock when I learned we aren’t actually related.
Is there another reason for that?
Quinn—the way people stare as she passes, the color of her eyes—and
Wait wait… Caroline’s eyes were bright when she was talking to Quinn. Can Caroline time travel? Maybe it’s a coincidence
“We’ll find another way because there’s no other choice. You’re my life. You’re the only part of it I want. And we will find a way to fix this.”
I can’t get her latest MRI images out of my head. The tumor is swallowing her brain. The radiologist’s face as he handed me his report said it all.
This hatred toward him…it’s been in me since the first night we met. And I want to expel all of it, right here, while I’ve got the chance.
Maybe there’s another reason for that
“Souhaitez-vous que je vous lise les lignes de la main?”
Would you like me to read you the lines of the hand
“A girl you’ve loved through many, many lifetimes.”
“She is carrying your child. No, wait. I see two children.”
“That’s ridiculous. Anything your father left to me goes to you if I die. Anything you have goes to whoever you want. He didn’t leave her anything.”
Maybe Sarah stole her mothers spark or something
All she’d need to do is disappear.
But maybe she can’t. Maybe she comes from the future or the past and she can’t do it right is because she needs time to refuel her power
“He’s waited a long time for this.”
The doctor? Is he in on it?
By the time I realize the air is rushing around me, it’s too late to take it back.
Idiot
“Nothing,” they reply in unison, which makes it that much fishier.
Nick is going to propose and they’re in on it
