Dean Quote by Colleen Hoover
““I’m looking into his terrified eyes and for the first time since we met…I think I actually understand him. All of him. He doesn't react the way he does because there are five different sides to his personality. He reacts the way he does because there’s only one side to Dean Holder. Passionate.””
