“This is about you, and the fact that you’re following her not because you love her, or even because you think she should be in Christopher’s life. No, you’re following her because you are hiding behind this stupid fucking teenage marriage that neither of you wanted in the first place. You’re following her because you refuse to accept that it is never going to work out, because if you do, then you’ll have to acknowledge why.”

—
Eddie and Sophia at a number of turning points throughout Eddie's life. Eddie can't stop running from himself. Sophia desperately tries to help. Things fall apart.
