However, the pain didn't end there. And she finally had to close herself off in order to survive.“You know she won't come back, don't you? She won't. They never do,” grumbled Rhona. She wasn't feeling sorry for herself; just simply stating what she believed was a fact.“She's my sister.”“She's also a self-absorbed, spiteful, selfish bitch who—”“But—““But nothing, Jaxxon,” she said firmly. “Just because she's blood doesn't mean anything. I'll bet that girl has never done a single thing for you in her life. She looks out for number one, and number one only. Just like the rest of them. So wise up, Big Tits. And do it now. You're on your own.” Just before leaving the room, she turned back to Jaxxon. “Wanna know what the trick is to getting through this shit? Never let anyone in.”
Boys had seemed to automatically think that if she had a body so alluring she was some kind of seductress and was up for anything. Then there was the fact that her sister had been very loose with her body; boys tended to then reason that if Jaxx was Leah's sister, she must be easy just like her.

And you're just as mistaken if you think I'll tolerate your possessiveness.”It was a struggle to keep his voice level. “And you're very mistaken if you think I'll ever be alright with another bloke being near you, let alone touching you. I see red every time.”“Try to imagine how little I actually care.”
Despite his need for revenge, he found the thought of hurting her more disturbing by the minute. God forbid, but she was actually kinda sweet. Nothing like the girl he remembered from high school.
Having a husband she actually enjoyed spending time with was a novelty to her. One she intended to enjoy
“If you don’t leave, I’m going to…”“You gonna call the cops? Oh wait, I am the cops.”
“Who are you?” he growled.“Your wife, idiot,” came Lana’s sharp reply.
You know, she’s been hurt before. Please don’t hurt her again, Sheriff.”“Ally!” Lana said, shock causing her jaw to go slack.“I love you, Lana,” she said. “You’re my sister. I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t protect you.”
“Don’t you do this to her, Sheriff. She can’t handle another bad marriage.”
