Little love Quote by Carrie Jones
““Do I need to ask Mr. Colt to move?” She wiggles her lips. “Are we having a little love in the afternoon?” Everybody titters-not laughs, but titters. I can feel my face turning red. “No. No, it’s fine. He’s fine.” “He sure is,” mutters some girl with mall bangs at the next table. Her table mate slaps her five.””

![“The only thing that scares me now is me. The [person] I might become. The [person] I dont ever want to be. Everybody has fears, right? But how many have my fear? Enough, it seems. Because there's a name for it. Autophobia.
