Chapter 26

• Yet at the same time I think it was getting me in touch with emotions (sounds lame, I know) that I’d buried or pushed to the side in order to come off as a razor tough bitch in the courtroom. The softer side of myself had been dormant for too long. It could help me in this case. It could light the fire under my ass and give me the disgust and determination to whop Fontaine’s dick in court. And get Dan Tierney in prison, where he could never torment another girl.
• When Olivia pulled away from our kiss and looked at me like that—all gauzy and fuzzy and warm—I decided she was good for me in so many ways and I had no intention of letting her go anytime soon.
• I was thanking God it was Friday when I decided to go check in with Daniel Tierney’s mother. I’d wanted to before meeting with the judge, but I didn’t have the time and I figured I had plenty of evidence without her to indict. Apparently not. At least now I’d have the weekend to go over whatever I could glean from her.
