From The Grey House:
“I spent all that time thinking I was keeping her safe. I forgot about Bethany’s parents. They’re divorced now, but they still care about her so much. If she had been kidnapped, they would have done everything they could to find her. I forgot about that because I was too worried about her. It pisses me off.”
He turned his head to look at her sharply. “Why?”
She sighed heavily. “Because all this time, while trying to save my friend, she was living it up.” She shook her head. “Probably not really living it up, but she was fine. I didn’t ask for proof, I just assumed I had to take care of her.”
