“We can’t let you go. We love you,” Mary cried.
“You can’t stop us. If you try, we’ll tell the cops you abused us. -- And it would be the truth!”

“Where will you go? How can you live? You will need money,” Mary said.
“We’ll manage. There’s always a way. There are plenty of charities to help freaks like us,” Jerry said. His voice was thick and choked with disgust.
Mary couldn’t stop crying for three weeks.
