Highs and lows Quote by Christina Coryell
““The idea of staying is new to me, you know. I spent the last decade trying to convince myself that things I remembered here weren’t real. When I came back to claim Grandma’s house, I wasn’t sure whether there was anything here that could possibly make me want to stay. Every time I see you it feels like we’re on a roller coaster. Highs and lows. Passion and fury. I can’t get past the notion that we might be bad for each other. Don’t you see it?” “I don’t now if we’re bad for each other, but I know I ain’t good for anyone else.””
