Eileen Barnett: Margie

Quotes 

• David Rossi : I'm so sorry.

  Margie : I bet you say that a lot.

  David Rossi : I've lost count.

  Margie : When my daughter was born, I was terrified of everything that could go wrong. I guess most new parents are. I would wake up just to make sure she was breathing. I would get the best sleep those nights in the rocking chair, just... feeling her here. I think it's because it was my job to keep her alive. But of all things to be terrified of, I never dreamed someone else's child grows up to be this monster that would take her.

  David Rossi : We will find whoever did this.

  Margie : You can't promise me that. Just like I couldn't promise to keep her safe. Holding onto hope is just cruel. I used to tell my daughter there's more room in a broken heart, but it doesn't feel like that. It-it just feels...

  David Rossi : Empty.

  Margie : Yeah. Empty.
