Quotes[]

The only reason why I'm sober is because of Max and Daniel. I always think what happen had you not been there and it makes me wanna kill myself. I would never do anything to let something like that ever happen again. I wouldn't.
I know what you're doing. I will not let you hurt my children.
~ Kate warning Esther to stay away from her children.
