Chance Quote by Melissa Gira Grant

“Women in the past thought all they had to do was see if he comes home late, or smells like cigarettes. But nothing's really changed, right? People still cheat. They're going to do what they're going to do. But now that sex work is more private, there's that chance to have a double life.” quote by Melissa Gira Grant
