she scoffs and blinks back hot, angry tears. ] I don't know what you're trying to accomplish here, Rachel, but I'm not playing this game. I knew you had it in you to be mean after what you did to Sunshine, but I didn't think you could be cruel. I really don't need this from you right now.

Something lurches in her throat, but she -- can't quite leave it like that. So after hours -- at least four -- Rachel sends Quinn a text message. She doesn't even know why she bothers sending it.

Either way, it needs to be said.]
