I knew for a fact that right now, if he touched me, if he... did more than just 'touching,' I wouldn't be able to fight him. What I felt now, it was natural, and I hated it.

"I thought so too and yet... I don't want to see you being brought down to that, not when you don't want it." "You can't kill her."" "After everything she did to you, I would have thought you wouldn't be so emotional over her." "I wasn't doing this for her, but for Axel." "You've got a big heart. Thane is one lucky guy.
