The Arrangement 15 Quotes

“Honesty is what makes a person. At the end of his life it’s one of the things people remember. Your legacy isn’t left by fame or fortune. It’s left by the footprints of compassion and honesty.”

“Give it a few years and you’ll see. The difference between us is wire-thin and time is the enemy. His wife died and he blamed himself, he always has, no matter what the papers say. I suffered heartache that was caused by my own hand as well. The aftermath wasn’t as gruesome, but the soul can’t tell. It just knows she’s gone and it’s my fault. My heart dies within me, day-by-day, beat-by-beat. I hide it with a smile and wiseass comments, but my pain and suffering is mine and nothing will free me from it. I’m in a cage and there is no key. Sean’s been imprisoned for too long. Nothing will set him free. No—not even you.”

“Tell me how he’s kind and compassionate, about how he takes care of you and puts you first. Tell me about the height of the pedestal he’s placed you on, and that you worry about falling off…that he thinks too highly of you. That you’re just a girl, but this man thinks you’re more stunning than a star hung in the heavens.”
― H.M. Ward, The Arrangement 15: The Ferro Family
