Hanging around Quote by Shelly Laurenston
““You've gotta help this girl now." "What if she doesn't want my help?" "You gave her a new life , and when she saw you again she hugged you. Trust me, this is not a girl who forgets a debt. At first she'll be hanging around you trying to figure out how to pay the debt off, and that's when you'll wheedle your way in." "I don't want to wheedle." "There's no shame in the wheedle" "Really? Because I feel like there should be a little shame.””
