Attention Quote by Fae Quin

““I’d never been valued as highly as Alex valued me. Never been treated so softly. Never had someone pay attention to me the way he did. Never had someone to protect me, or coddle me when I needed it, or allow me to coddle back. He let me need him and he didn’t get angry.””
