Dante Quote by Benjamin Alire Sáenz

“He was still experimenting with kissing girls even though he said he'd rather be kissing boys. That's exactly what he said. I didn't know exactly what to think about that, but Dante was going to be Dante and it I was going to be his friend, I would just have to learn to be okay with it.” quote by Benjamin Alire Sáenz
