Crying Quote by Samantha Towle
““The door opposite me opens and Tom stumbles out, looking half-asleep. “What the fuck’s going on out here?” he yawns, stretching his arms over his head, as he glances around taking in the scene. Me in my pyjamas in Simone’s arms crying. Jake bleeding from the mouth. Denny in his boxer shorts. “Oh, right,” he says putting two and two together, dropping his arms down. “Guess, I’ll leave you guys to it then.” Stepping back he closes his door.””
