"Have you ever read Sylvia Plath's 'The Bell Jar'?" Edgeley asked.
"No. I've always been more of a Hemingway girl." O'Reilly as far as he knew had never delivered a baby. She certainly wasn't the type to make any.

"Jesus, you sure as fuck know some twisted shit."
"I'm very proud of my mother. She wouldn't take shit from anyone. Cursed like a sailor the whole time. My dad was too scared to leave the delivery room."
