Laughed Quote by Jamie McGuire
““I didn’t mean it, Pidge. If he hurts you—if he even makes you feel uncomfortable—you let me know.” The anger subsided, and my shoulders fell. “I know you didn’t. But you have got to curb this over-protective big brother-thing you’ve got going on.” Travis laughed once. “I’m not playing the big brother, Travis laughed once. “I’m not playing the big brother, Pigeon. Not even close.””
