Afraid to love Quote by Febe Duquet
“I think she was afraid to love sometimes, I think it scared her. She was the type to like things that were concrete, like the ocean. Something you could point to and know what it was. And I think that's why she struggeld with love. She couldn't touch it, she couldn't hold it and make sure it never changed”
