"Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past."
He knows it won't do much (that whispered words in the middle of the night never mean much about anything) but still he tries, hoping that maybe something he can say will help her.
She's tormented by everything she's ever done, every moment of Slytherin she's ever been. The lives that she's mercilessly destroyed and the hearts she so carelessly shattered and left on the ground.
She's far too independent, but he's got the idea that if he controls her, he can control her memories and make her see everything her husband doesn't. If he controls her past, maybe, just maybe he'll be able to control her future (but he knows he's kidding himself).
If he controls her past he'll control her future (fingerscrossedfingerscrossed), and whoever controls her present (him-always him) will control her past.
Well, that's his logic anyway.
