JAMIE BUCHANAN: Why didn’t you fight harder for Willow?
DASH: If I got any harder for her, Jamie, I could fuck through a brick. <wink>
ANGIE ESQUILIN: Do you really want to work for your dad or would you like to become your own man?
DASH: I’ve always been my own man. I’m just finding that out. It’s why my father hates me so much. My father might have started the company, but it’s mine now, and I’m going to make sure everyone knows it. Including him.
MARIA WILLIAMS: Dash, if you truly cared for Willow, why did you hurt her so badly? When you took Willow’s virginity, was that the moment when you decided you were going to keep her? Also, do you hate or strongly dislike Keenan, Lake, and Keiran?
DASH: When I realized I cared for Angel, I wanted to fix it, but I didn’t know how. How do you explain that their body and heart were nothing more than a pawn in a game when someone else was the true prize? There’s no coming back from that, and I wasn’t prepared to lose her. Keenan, Lake, and Keiran are more than friends. They are family. I could never hate them but… I wouldn’t mind killing Keenan a few times a week if a reset button were available.
HATICE SAHINER: Dear Dash, what was going through your head when Willow gave back to you the angel bracelet you bought just for her? Did it fucking hurt? Will Willow ever become your wifey?
DASH: Angel didn’t realize it was more than just a simple trinket. It represented how deep in my skin she’d gotten when no girl had ever gotten close. When she’d given it back to me, I wanted to brand her with something she could never give back. Now… I have. She’s carrying my kid, and soon, I’ll have papers on them both. Let’s see her try to give that back. <grin>

WHY are you still friends with me?
