She was so wound up that she didn't get that he didn't know, that his questions had been sincere, and she shook her head, her face twisting. "You know. You know, and I can't- I did what I had to do, at least I tried, Jax. I know I tried my best to stop our boys from having this eat them alive the way it's eaten you."

"I've gone crazy," she said then, taking a deep breath. "When I look at you, I see the man I loved, not the man who you've become, and it makes this worse, I think. You wanted to get them away from this." Her eyes flicked up to his, and she pulled in a deep breath. "Just- Please, tell them- tell them that I- that it was an accident. Tell them that I loved them."
