Human nature Quote by J.T. Geissinger
““It’s okay if you want to bitch me out, you know. You don’t always have to be so understanding.” I shrug. “I’m a relationship counselor, Brody. I’ve seen the best and worst of human nature. I’m not going to bitch you out because you firmly closed a door and took a shower.””
