Serious relationship Quote by Nora Roberts
““When she was settled in the car beside Tyler, Maddy folded her hands on her lap. "I've got two things I want to ask you." "Sure. Shoot." "If I were, like, ten years older and had actual breasts, would you go for me?" "Jesus, Maddy." "I don't have a crush on you or anything. I sort of did when we first moved here, but I got over it. You're too old for me, and I'm not ready for a serious relationship, or sex." "Damn right you're not." "But when I am ready, I want to know if a guy would go for me. Theoretically.””
