Quote 1

"Denny paid his account with Mark Fein. Shortly afterward, Mark Fein was appointed to be a circuit judge, something about which I know little, except that it is a lifetime appointment, it is very prestigious, and it is not refusable." (45.1)

Quote 2

How did Denny sustain himself for the duration of his ordeal? Here's how: He had a secret. His daughter was better and quicker and smarter than he was. And while the Evil Twins may have restricted his ability to see her, when he was allowed to see her, he received all the energy he needed to maintain his focus. (42.24)

Even though distance keep Denny and Zoë apart, the time that they spend together is enough to rejuvenate them both; the novel stresses the importance of the time, however small, we spend together.
