But I’m still not ready to give up.

Tripp

You wanna take her overnight so I can get my wife alone for once?

Noah

We’ll see.

Wilder

Wait a damn minute…the parole board members are all old people from various white-collar jobs?

Tripp

Congrats on figuring it out.

Wilder

Well good thing old ladies love me!

Waylon

Love or tolerate?

Noah

I’d pay big money to see you try.

Landen

Don’t encourage him…he doesn’t need any more incentives.

Wilder

About to go on a deep dive to find out who their granddaughters are…I’m sure I can work my magic somewhere.

Tripp

That sounds like a threat…should we warn them first?

Noah

How about no one commits a felony trying to alter their decision and we just let the justice system do its job?

Landen

Assuming they do this time…

Yeah, I guess after eleven years, I’m still bitter.

Angela deserved way more prison time. I’ll never be satisfied knowing she’s the reason Talia and Tucker are dead and she won’t be rotting in a cell for the rest of her pathetic life.

ELLIE

If there’s one thing I thrive on, it’s routine—waking up at six a.m., jogging on the trails by seven, and then heading to the stables to groom and work on Ranger’s techniques before running drills and practice runs. By noon, Noah meets me at the training center to watch my progress and give any critiques. If it’s a weekend race, I pack the day before and then get Ranger ready for travel.
