Emptiness inside Quote by S.L. Scott
““When I said I rest better because there’s something about this place. I lied. It’s not this place.” “What is it then?” Cupping my face, our lips meet, but he doesn’t kiss me. “It’s you. You give me the peace I’ve needed, and the emptiness inside isn’t so empty anymore.””
