Old man Quote by Kelly Braffet

“He did not understand her. They were not the same. The garage, the trial, the old man with his head in his hands--his mother, struggling to breathe--those things were horrors. The mess under Layla's clothes was a game and he hated her for making a part of it, for ever coming near him.” quote by Kelly Braffet — Download Open image
