““I was never your slave, Caleb. You tried, I’ll give you that, but we both know you belong to me as much as I belong to you. If you’d really been able to break me down and build me back up, neither of us would be here. No matter how fucked up the circumstances, I genuinely fell in love with you…and…and believe it or not…you love me too.””
