"You were always so willful, never sweet."
[Mr. Nash] took from his wallet a school photo of a girl with a wide, crooked smile, her pale brown hair cut jaggedly above her chin. "My wife wanted to put her hair in rollers the night before school photos. Ann chopped it off instead. She was a willful thing. A tomboy. I'm actually surprised she's the one they took. Ashleigh's always been the pretty one, you know. The one people look at." He stared at the photo one more time." Ann must've given hell."

"You were always so willful, never sweet. I remember when you were six or seven. I wanted to put your hair up in curlers for your school picture. Instead you cut it off with my fabric shears." I didn't remember doing this. I remembered hearing about Ann doing this.
