"But I want you to know, that's not why I came here. I'm not looking for a handout. I’ve got a decent job at the Empire Arms, even if my boss is kind of a dick. I can take care of myself and my kid."
Jo didn’t doubt that. But she was also aware that the timing of this long-awaited visit was no coincidence. No matter what Maddie said, a big part of her reasons for coming to Sanctuary now were pretty close to the reasons Jo had first come here to live with Aunt Dottie when she hit rock bottom all those years ago.

"Addie, please believe--"
"You behaved like a coward," she spat. "And I've been suffering for it ever since." She walked over and yanked her coat off the rack, shoving her arms into it.

“Hey. None of that.” His fingertips gently swept the tears away, his warm palm smoothing her hair.
Her arms were heavy, as she was physically spent by the weight of his gift. Yes, the earrings were absolutely gorgeous and way too much. But it was the thought that went into it. He’d remembered an offhanded comment about diamond earrings. That’s what mattered to her. That he’d listened and remembered.
