Failure Quote by Christine Seifert
““What else did he say?” Jesse insists, and for the second time ever, I feel uneasy with him. “Nothing,” I say. “Daphne, they say I’m predicted, but there has to be some mistake. That’s not who I am.” “I’m hearing a lot about who you are.” “And you’re saying that you believe it all?” “Jesse, I don’t know.””
