Friendship Quote by Amber L. Johnson

“Just because I was attracted to him didn’t mean our friendship had to suffer. It was what would come first, regardless of my feelings. I met Mrs. Neely at the door and I swear to you she took one look at my glossy lips and bare knees and the woman just knew. Moms are creepy like that sometimes.” quote by Amber L. Johnson
