“My name’s Oliver. Though if you want to call me Pretty Eyes Park again, I promise I’ll still come running.”

“Murder was like getting a tattoo. The first one you carefully ask yourself why; each one after you ask yourself why not?”

“It’s what you didn’t say, Dad.” Cooper could hear his voice loud and steady, like it had been growing inside him and waiting to burst out for years. “You never even mentioned it. Like it didn’t exist. Like it didn’t even cross your mind that I could be gay or bi or anything else. How was I to know it was okay? I never heard it from you. It wasn’t my job to tell you. It was yours to make me feel like I didn’t have to hide it from you.”
