Life Quote by Emily McKee
““I felt like it was a now or never moment, a pass or fail. I felt like in life we are given a test and this one was mine. That if I didn't ask the question I would suffocate and regret it for the rest of my life. But now lying here I realized that to me it didn't matter what the answer was. What mattered to me was that I had been brave enough to finally ask it. That I had put my heart out on the line and that maybe, just maybe Maddox could show me that not everybody is like Cynthia. Just one question. "What do you want from me Maddox?" Without taking his eyes off of me he put his hand to my cheek and said, "Everything Isabelle. Everything.””
