The Girl In The Wall Quotes

“brought me in yesterday. I was in there for probably an hour with my dad. I think it wore him out too much, I had to take him back home.” Her attention is split—I can tell she’s thinking about something else while trying to hold on to the conversation. It’s something she used to do when we were kids too. “How is your dad?” I ask. “Still fiery as ever?” That brings her back and she shakes her head. “No, he’s calmed down in the past few years. I think when Jessica never came back it began to take a toll on him. And I wasn’t enough to keep him going.” “Jude, that’s not true,” I say. “Your dad loved you.” She gives me a sardonic smile.”
