[And Rogue's day is very suddenly ruined. She's so mad she could explode. But she doesn't. She squashes it down hard so that when she talks, it has to be through gritted teeth.]
Anyone who's been talkin' ta "me" today up until now, unless it was a private chat or face ta face, it wasn't me. Someone decided ta stick her nose in all over the place, and didn't even bother ta show her sorry hide ta me herself.
Ignore anythin' she told any of ya.
[She's soooo angry.]

Some times it was the only time I'd see her. I worked until sundown, she was often asleep by the time I got home. I always felt I should have been home more.

It's not the content of the book, but that y'were there, the one that soothed her when she needed it. Ya did the best ya knew how. And she knew ya loved her.

I'm not the cause of the mob that gathered, I'm not responsible for the KGB that would rather an innocent child die because of who her parents are, but if I hadn't lost my temper, it wouldn't have happened. As many times as others lectured me on my temper, as much damage as it's caused...I shouldn't have allowed myself to become so angry.

[ If he had, he'd have taken them and fled, would have done anything to keep them safe. He never wanted to have his children grow up in fear. ]
