Oh, Myr, " he chokes out. "I hate having to ask this of you.." He glances towards the car again, and I crouch down in the shadows, hoping it's too dark for him to see whether the window is open or closed. The woman pats his arm, cradling her hand against his elbow." You know I'd do anything for you and Hil, " she says. I like her voice. It's throaty and rich." You'd do anything?" my father repeats numbly. "Even now? After -?""Even now, " the woman says firmly. Margaret Peterson Haddix
About This Quote

There are times in our lives when we must ask for help. Taking this statement literally it might appear that my father is asking his girlfriend to have sex with him, but he is really asking her for help with his problems instead. A person who does not have any friends or companionship, has no one to talk to when they are in need of support. Therefore, when someone sees a need in another they are willing to give them their all in that need until the problem is solved.
