Time Quote by J. Lynn
““And even though quick hookups were all I'd ever been capable of, I would've given her more if she had wanted that. I would've given her everything if she had asked. It would probably never be enough, and I knew I couldn't undo everything I had done in the past. I couldn't go back and change the fact that I'd been with all those girls, that Syd had seen me take home one girl after another, but damn, if she had asked, I would've told her that my feelings for her ran deep.””
