Hope Quote by Courtney C. Stevens
““And more than that, Bodee left me with hope. For love. For wanting someone to touch me again and to lie with me without fear as my first response. Because Bodee slept in his sneakers, because Bodee asked for a kiss instead of just taking it, and because he kept space between us. He danced with two fingers until I asked for three or four... and his hand on my hip. I know we're both still broken. Both of us. But Bodee's got the glue to make us whole. He is love.””
