Change Quote by Elle Kennedy
““She hated her life. She really, truly did. She was sick of taking care of everyone in her family, sick of working as a waitress when what she really wanted to do was have a restaurant of her own, and sick of getting dumped. Oh no, change brain direction now, Holly, before you think about— Steve. And yep, she was thinking about Steve,””
