Oh, I see. Mom was messy, and so are you, and that gives you comfort.
Byron
Here's to the past. May it not blow up our present.
Byron
Eleanor: Pa's lucky streak may have ended, not mine. I had been given a second chance and a new story to tell. B and B this is how I really became your ma, the woman you know as...
Covey: Eleanor.
Eleanor is not my real name, B and B. There are people who have spent their entire lives wondering what happened to the girl I used to be. And when this is over, after you have heard the truth in full, I want you to find those people and tell them.
Eleanor
I want you to know that when this is over, when I am another man's property, you're dead to me.
Covey [to Lin]
Covey: I don't deserve you.
Bunny: See, that's where you're wrong. You deserve the world. I hope you get it.
My roommate Elly was the most cheerful, optimistic person I had ever met. I didn't realize it then, but now I know, that I hadn't buried Covey. Not entirely. In order to truly bury that broken girl and to ensure my safety, unfortunately, Elly would have to die.
Eleanor
Covey was dead, or so I thought. It didn't take me long to learn that you can't run from the truth. You can't run from who you really are. Eventually, the truth will surface, and when it does, you must reckon with it.
Eleanor
I will never forget when it happened, the look on my father's face when he had realized what he had done. He had sold his little girl.
Eleanor
Gibbs saw me for who I really was and who I wanted to be. If I had known I would spend the rest of my life hiding the girl he loved, I would've stayed on that farm with him forever.
Eleanor
Beatrice: I tried to warn you. He started paying extra attention to me right after my husband left me and my little boy destitute. He knew that I needed him, and when he cornered me, he knew that no one would believe me if I told. That's why he chose you.
Covey: Why don't you leave?
Beatrice: My son.
I started working here for Mathilda. I stayed for Covey, so she would have someone other than you to look over her. But no, she's dead and if you hadn't pissed away your money, your business, and your dignity, she'd still be here, Mathilda would still be here. So as much as I pity you, Lin, I no longer feel obligated to work for you. I have to live my own life. I suggest you do the same now that you for some reason have a second chance.
