Hero Quote by Alex Flinn

“I got myself there. No one does anything for me. So I know when I meet the right guy, it's not going to be someone like my dad. It's not going to be someone who needs me. It's going to be someone who can, for once in my life, be a hero. I'm hoping guys like that still exist.” quote by Alex Flinn
