"You think I don't know that? You're not a dick! I wouldn't work for you if I thought you were that kind of person. Do you think so low of me that I believe some psychopath who has control of your mouth? I know that wasn't you. I fucking know you." And she kind of wished that he knew her too but maybe not. It wasn't like Enis liked letting people in.

"I wanted to ask you why. I wanted you to explain it to me. I never thought you were a bad person. Even good people have to make hard choices Rhys. Sometimes there isn't a fucking happily ever after and I get that."
