Friendship Quote by Ellen Hopkins

“The problem with sex Is that it changes everything. Brad and I are still friends. But we're a different kind of friends. More than pals. More, even, than fuck buddies. It's like we're stand-ins for the true loves of our lives. And the only way to be that is to let ourselves love each other.” quote by Ellen Hopkins
