"He deserves love, all the food he can get his hands on, and a girl who will love him to the ends of the Earth. I’ll do everything in my power to ensure he gets what he deserves. Even if it means my heart breaks in the process.”

-Chrissy

“Don’t ever look down, wildflower. The world needs to see your beauty, but if it were up to me, I’d keep it all to myself.”
