Chapter 131

• "Do you have so little faith in yourself? In us? Can't you see how different you are and how different things are with Leon and your family? You weren't the only one who had a major shakeup that affected your entire outlook. No one will allow history to repeat itself, let alone me. You won't either because you are not the same."
• "I'm scared. It seems too good to be true, and I keep waiting for the 'but' moment." Sophia's eyes blur as tears prick, and she swallows hard to soothe down the choking ball of pain growing inside of her. Something she has held down for so long, she almost was capable of ignoring it altogether.
• "Leon loves you. He knows it now, and he won't let anyone or anything drag you back to that misery. I love you, and I will never allow you to return to that......You are stronger than you were, and you know that you don't have to be who you were to have their love, your old job, or anything that's rightfully yours."
