Jealous Quote by A. Meredith Walters
““Maggie was ready to drop everyone and everything for him… And I was self-aware enough to know that I was feeling more than a little jealous. Not because I liked Maggie like that or anything. No, it had more to do with my selfish desire to have my girls all to myself. Hey, I never pretended to be overly mature. But at least I can own it.””
