Bad decisions Quote by Rachel Higginson
““Why couldn’t all ex-boyfriends just turn into toads the second things were over? So many bad decisions could be avoided in the world if women only had to face toads they were in love with and not the real men that represented their heartbreak and lost hopes and dreams and wasted orgasms. Well… maybe we didn’t regret the orgasms.””
