"...."

"...what."

"I'm afraid it's you who doesn't get it. Do you honestly believe Rachel actually made me live my life in fear? You think I'm SCARED of HER? AS IF! The most she ever did was insult me and my family. Torture? There was none of it. Living hell? I was living just fine!"

"I can stand to hang around Rachel so long as she isn't trying to woo me away from my wife--which was more or less the main thing she ever did around me. We've actually had a few decent conversations, even. Granted, I haven't seen her since I heard the news about Krinkinko, so I can kind of see how she feels she was a burden on me."

"But know this! Rachel never once tortured me or my family. If she ever went that far, I'd have kicked her butt ages ago! I haven't forgiven her because there is nothing to forgive! The fact that she's been trying to make amends for everything is enough to warrent my respect. You tell her exactly that and don't you dare twist my words when doing so."

"If you want her so bad you can have her. But I don't want to hear you laugh about this again. Saying she has no choice but to turn to you? That's for her to decide. Don't be surprised if she turns you down."
