Well, sometimes I worry that...
That Noah may turn into his father?
Yes.
Did you turn into your father?
Well, I didn't turn into a rapist, if that's what you mean. But I think about him all the time, and I think about what he did and the choices that he made. I think about it a lot. And I've been dealing with this for quite a long time, even before I met you. And no matter... what I do, I still worry that...
About what, Olivia?
That somehow his... darkness will overpower my life and my choices, because... I've been there before. I've been angry. I've been... violent.
I know. And I know how much that frightened you, but I don't believe that's who you really are. My opinion? Your strength, your moral compass, your belief systems... more powerful than your father's DNA.
