Breath Quote by Mary Borsellino
““Just being with them, skin on skin and breath on breath, was my favorite thing in the world. I loved them both so fucking much. I was so scared of it ending. I was so scared of the world intruding, of things coming between us. Of there someday being an end to our little world of three. Better to burn it than to watch it fade and wither.””
