Top 10 Best Quotes
“was also a safe haven for lazy stoners who wanted a break from life. Think summer camp with cushier accommodations”
“it?” “Being both married and lonely is an uncomfortable combination,” said Sam. “Why were you lonely?” “I’d—I’d never met a woman who asked so little of me. She never needed to talk. She never burdened me with her problems. The only thing she ever wanted was sex. At first, it seemed perfect.” “Please don’t tell me she was also a good cook,” said Burns. “No. Horrible.” “That’s a relief. But still, she doesn’t sound like any woman—or man, for that matter—I’ve ever met. People need. All of them. There are no exceptions.” “I agree,” said Burroughs. “Most of her other needs were met by Owen.” “So, you’re saying that the primary relationship in Owen and Luna’s lives was not with their spouses but with each other.”
“Your husband was fucking my dead wife and you’re angry that I went to see Amy?”
“You want to know if maybe Sam could have killed her,” Luna said. “I don’t think so. He had no motive other than keeping it a secret, and that wouldn’t be much of a motive. Our prenup did not have a morals clause. If he killed her, it would have to be a crime of passion. He’d have to lose control. I can’t conceive of what would precipitate that.”
“You need to tell me the truth,” Griff said. “I’m starting to feel like a puppet in my own life.” “I had to get an abortion. The next day,” Luna said.”
“You know, Owen, it’s deeply concerning how lightly you take the killing of another human.”
“You and Owen were fine when he was a murder suspect, but after his name is cleared you don’t talk to him?” Mason said. “That doesn’t make any sense.”
“Would you say that Owen is satisfied with his career?” Burns asked. Luna shrugged. She’d met few men who were satisfied. Few women as well. Was she satisfied? She wouldn’t know how to answer that question. “I think he imagined a different life. But he accepted the life he had.”
“When did things go wrong?” “Your question is based on a faulty premise. Who says there was something wrong with the marriage?”
“Whatever it was had become essential to their lives. The pair had been inseparable since the day Owen stuck his fingers in Luna’s mouth.”
