That was... searing. Which you used in the third to last paragraph, and it's a great way to describe this story. Searing, raw... just... wow. The frame was fantastic, all of the stuff about Quinn's scars, and how she couldn't be jealous of Rachel, and... so many little amazing details just made this story spectacular. Characterization was great, and this description of Rachel:
“I thought maybe you wanted me,” Rachel answers. She’s always like this, always honest until the point of pain and with Quinn, always self-deprecating and a little miserable. Quinn doesn’t know why she keeps coming back.
Honest to the point of pain. Like, to a tee. Thank you for sharing this amazing piece.
“This is it for me.” Something hurts inside of her when she admits it, something smashes and the illusion is gone: an image of a faceless husband and faceless children and blindingly white house flashes in her mind and then burns out like a light. “This is all I have. This is it.” Her voice breaks. The backs of her eyes sear with pain.

And that was an amazing image.
