Baggage Quote by Marcus Sakey
““baggage. You can get a fresh start.” “Yeah. Until the brother of someone I killed sets my house on fire. No, if I have to spend my whole life watching my back, I’ll do it somewhere prettier than Wyoming.” He glanced at the clock, then closed his eyes. “I’m gonna crash for a few.” A long minute passed,””
