First time Quote by Ruthie Knox
““With Sean, for the first time in her life, she felt sufficient. He could stay or he could go, and she would remain here, and her adequacy, her value, would have nothing to do with her ability to hold his interest. It was a good way to feel. Progress, if not perfection. Sean””
