Quotes[]
“How are the questions coming with Little Jack?”
“Good. Figuring it out. I’m telling him stories, keeping Jack’s memory alive. Just trying to listen.”
-Nathan and Elizabeth
“You know, I don’t think I’m very good at this thing. Maybe I’m not meant to be that kind of guy.”
“You’re done with love?”
“Maybe I should be.”
-Nathan and Elizabeth
“Hi, you. Sorry it’s been a while. The past few months have been…interesting. But everything’s fine. Let’s see. Rosaleen is back; she asked about you. The Governor is visiting Buxton, and possibly Hope Valley, if Rosemary has any say in it. Speaking of Rosemary, she’s managing to do a million things with a sweet baby girl on her hip. They named her Goldie, after her mother. The wedding is coming together, slowly but surely. Oh, your son tormented the babysitter last night, which reminded me of a story your mother told me about you and your brother. He’s more like you every day, Jack. I think you’d be really proud of him. I know you would.”
-Elizabeth, to Jack at his grave
“When I left town, I didn’t think I’d ever come back. Too many memories, good and bad. I’m trying to hold onto the good ones. I remember that gruff man that used to control this town, and I remember how much I hated him for what he took, and how scared I was of him. That man isn’t here anymore. I see that now.”
-Rosaleen, to Henry
