Broken Quote by Piper Vaughn
““You’re not broken,” Ryan said fiercely, pulling back so he could look Phillip in the face. He refused to allow his P.J. to think of himself that way. “You were raised by a woman who never showed you any affection at all. It makes sense it would be difficult for you to show it to others now. We’re all products of our upbringings in one way or another. There are certain things you can’t help. That doesn’t mean you’re broken. It just means you might have to try a little harder than other people do.””
