[ Vex had no reason to not believe Kavinsky's confession, though it reminded him more of Massimo than it did Mark. Mo, who always hurt him then hugged him and apologized, begged forgiveness and then hurt him all over again. Vex couldn't help but think of that right now as he stared at Vin and it made his chest ache. ]

I dunno, luv. I love you too, have for a long time, but it's not the same and I know that screws with your heart. I wanted to see how it'd go if we were together and I found out... you're a bloody lot like my son, and maybe that's how I love you. Maybe that's how I'll always love you, maybe not, I don't know.

You didn't really give me a chance.
