  • Paige: He cheated on you with my friend! How could you stay with him?
  • Rita Thornton: I... I was going to leave. I was. I was all ready to leave. And then one afternoon, I was all alone in the house, and I started looking at all the photographs of you and your... and your sister. And the house seemed so full of all of us. We were a family, Paige. And I realized in that moment that... that was the most important thing in the world for me. And I couldn't... I couldn't... I could not go.
  • Paige: So you just WASPed it away.
  • Rita Thornton: No. I chose to stay with him for all of the things he had done right, and not to leave him for the one thing that he had done wrong. I chose to forgive him.
