Strange Sally Diamond

He wasn’t… kind to her, Sally. Thank God you never saw that side of him. She had planned to leave him, but she didn’t know if you would come with her.

“If Denise’s behavior didn’t match his own interpretation, he dismissed it and called her hysterical.

I felt a shuddering in my chest, as if all the air was being squeezed out. I began to sob real tears for the very first time I could remember.

When I’ve finished with the house, I’m going to build a barn behind it. Soundproofing materials are available on Amazon, like most things, even shackles. I realize now that the only way to make that connection I seek is to take a woman and keep her until she submits. I’m prepared to wait. I won’t force her to love me. I haven’t found her yet. She won’t be a child. I’m not my father.

Noooo... Though if I had to pick who to be kidnapped by, I guess Peter isn't half bad since he'd never raise his hand at you or try to rape you

I don’t want to know Amanda Heron. My uncle and my brother have been so disappointing. I’m better off without family.

This is depressing. Poor Sally

Tina was wrong about everything. I was right to trust nobody. They all let me down in the end. Keeping secrets or telling secrets behind my back. I’m deaf again. I don’t speak to anyone and I pretend I don’t hear their whispering.

Nadine and I have decided to do something about it. All of us are going to stand outside your door next Saturday at 1 p.m. We are going to sing (probably badly) until you come out and join us.

Good there's still hope then! She's not going to be a recluse for the rest of her life

And that old teddy bear that randomly arrived in the mail a couple of years back. He has become my lucky charm.

Aw that's kinda sweet... in a really creepy way.
