Chapter 106

• "I know.... I know that I caused it. This is on me. All of it.... What he did was for you. And I deserved it. It's just he lied to me and let me believe that you drove off that cliff of your own accord all these years. It messed my head up for two years to believe I pushed you to that. I hurt you, and it's my fault you took the car. Because of my actions, he trashed the darn car, but he's my brother... he should have told me the truth. I helped him when he was falling apart and took care of him, and not once did he try and ease my pain and guilt. He punished me instead. He watched me tear myself to pieces with regret and pain and never tried to soften it the way I was for him."
• It pains Sophia to know Leon suffered so much all this time without her, and she doesn't think she can ever stop feeling remorse for that.
• "I'm sure it wasn't what he was doing in his head. Maybe he was scared to tell you because of the exact reaction you gave him because of guilt and being afraid of facing what he did. Maybe he partly felt you deserved it... who knows when it comes to Johnny? All I know is he loves you under all of that, and you two need to figure this out. That we both need to show him that we don't blame him.... I don't." Sophia sighs, truly meaning every word now she has digested it all. He only tried to vent his fury just like she did, and it wasn't his fault it had drastic consequences. It's funny that they both knew what to do and what to trash to hurt Leon and did it in their own way. So juvenile.
