Doing the right thing Quote by Aimee Carter
““Am I doing the right thing, then?' I said. 'Fighting for you.' He circled his arms around my waist, and he was so close that I could feel his breath against my cheek. 'No,' he said, and the word made my stomach contract. But before I could panic, he continued, his voice smooth and meant only for me. 'You never had to fight for me to begin with. I am yours and have been from the moment I saw you.””
