I need to know that this isn’t like last time. That you’re not doing this just so you can say you’ve done it. Because that’s not good enough for me. That’s not good enough for us.”” [Rachel Vincent](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/rachel-vincent/) ## About This Quote This interpretation was drafted with AI assistance.
