Faith Quote by Kimberly Derting
““Funnier still how much faith her parents put in him, considering the fact that Jay would officially be younger than Violet in less than a week. Violet was about to turn seventeen, while Jay would still be sixteen for nearly two full months/ Jay liked that, the whole older-woman thing. He also liked to joke about the fact that Violet would soon be dating a younger man. One night, when Violet’s parents had gone out, he teased her about it, whispering against his throat, “I should probably be dating girls my own age now that you’ll be over-the-hill.” Jay was stretched out on Violet’s bed as she curled against him. Violet laughed, rising to the bait. “Fine,” she challenged, pulling away and leaning up on her elbow. “I’m sure there are plenty of men my own age who would be willing to finish what you’ve started.””
