Ainsley Quote by Jennifer Ashley

“I don't want you back because you feel obligated to me, love," he said. "That's the devil of wedding vows - they make you do things for a person you maybe should run away from. Come back to me because you want to, not because you think you ought to. Do you understand?” quote by Jennifer Ashley
