She told him, "I have the paperwork, Jasper. All of it. I'll testify in front of any judge that it's your signature. I'll tell them that you knew about Oslo, and I'll tell them that you wanted to frame Andrew for everything." Jasper stared at her. "How can you choose him over ..

he was crying, but then she realized that he was probably trying to regain his composure so that Andy wouldn't be even more worried when she saw him. She had seen Gordon cry once, and only once, before. It was at the beginning of her parents' divorce. He hadn't let go and sobbed or anything. What he had done was so much worse. Tears had rolled down his cheeks, one long drip after another, like condensation on the side of a glass. He'd kept ..

Maybe she should just go to the station tomorrow and talk to Jeffrey. There had to be a way to convince him that she was not involved in this case. She should just go home right now, pour herself a drink, and try to get some sleep, so that when the

Right. And when we asked the other inmates why she did it, they said that girls had been stealing her stuff. Not just her commissary. She'd put down a pen and the next thing she knows, it's missing. She'd take off her socks and they'd disappear. They even stole her trash. Why do you think they did that?' He shrugged. 'To be mean.' 'To make her understand that nothing belonged to her.

badness doesn't come all at once. The dominoes fall over time. You hurt someone by mistake and they let you get away with it. Then you try hurting them on purpose, and they still stick around. And then you realize that the more you hurt them, the better you feel. So you keep hurting them, and they keep hanging on, and the years roll by and you convince yourself that the fact that they still stand by you means that the pain you cause is okay..
