Beyond Redemption Quotes

“Olive left Bodhi’s side then slid her arms under Trenton’s, resting her cheek against his chest. “It’s going to be okay, Trent.” She leaned back and looked up at him. “I promise. I’m just glad you’re here.” Trenton’s lower lip trembled. “I can’t believe I get to hug you again, kiddo.”

“I bought her time while we worked to neutralize the threat,” I said, my voice sounding more like begging than debate. “No,” he shot back. “You bought convenience for the Bureau. It was easier. Cheaper. Less red tape. Go fuck yourself, Tommy, you selfish son-of-a-bitch.”

“It wasn’t you who had to pretend you didn’t see it when Falyn covered her mouth and cried herself to sleep so her husband wouldn’t ask her for the millionth time how he could help. That was Taylor. You didn’t help Camille pour the whiskey down the sink before I drank it all. You didn’t sit in my shop at three in the morning, staring at Olive’s drawings like they were the only thing you had left. You didn’t take Taylor’s calls when he panicked every time Falyn shut down or spiraled or when she served him with fuckin’ divorce papers.” Three times, he pounded his finger so hard into his chest I could hear it. “That was me!” he roared. Trenton took a few breaths, willing himself to calm down, his next words softer and broken. “You didn’t talk Tyler down when he called, frantic about Taylor, because he was afraid he was going to lose his twin who was in the darkest fucking place we’d ever seen him.” He pointed to his chest again, looser as the exhaustion set in. “That was me.”
