Hopeful Quote by R.K. Lilley
““I love the name of it. Makes me feel hopeful. I want it over my mantle.” I paused in what I was doing, my eyes scanning over the photos title, Second Chances. He was smiling, I could hear it in his voice, when he added, “And I could tell it was your favorite when you showed it to me. I figure I have a better chance of getting you to come back to my house, if I fill it with the things you love.” He’d hit his target with the opening salvo. That second part was just overkill.””
