How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
"You don't mind if I love him too, do you? I won't come between you." I respected her for asking, but I knew that she would come between us, so I found her preemptive denial to be disingenuous. (4.4-5)
This is the first time we see Enzo grappling with the fact that his life is going to change—and the fact that he has no way of controlling how other people's decisions impact him. It's also the beginning of a clear, albeit brief, turf war between Eve and Enzo. (Don't tell, but our money was on the dog.)
Quote #2
"[Zoë] came early. You can't know what's going to happen before it happens."
"Yes I can," Denny said, "If I am any good, I can." (6.34-5)
If you think this is a little Yoda-trippy, that's because it is. Denny is trying to apply the rules by which he lives his racing career to his life, which is all very well and good when it makes him a prepared, focused person, but not good when he beats himself up for missing his daughter's birth or feels responsible for his wife's death. There are some things we can't control, Denny. Like whether they'll ever make a live-action reboot of The Lion King.
Quote #3
From the moment they arrived, the Twins had been admonishing Eve for having her baby at home. They told her she was endangering her baby's welfare and that in these modern times, it was irresponsible to have a baby anywhere but in the most prestigious of all hospitals with the most expensive of all doctors. (6.26)
Here Eve's parents, in a dynamic feat of time travelling, try to control a situation that has already transpired. They fail because they can't time travel, but they certainly want Eve to know how they would have done things differently and how her decision, which ended up working out in the end, anyway, was completely wrong.
