Drew Quote by Monica Murphy
““Jen tilts her head toward my hand, where I’m clutching my phone. “Texting hunkalicious?” Why does everyone call Drew nicknames? Owen and Lover Boy. Jen and Hunkalicious. I should call him something like Drew Bear or Drew-bee. Something silly and dumb and just for me. He’d probably die of mortification if I tried.””
