Beck Quote by Sloane Kennedy
““I did know what he meant and some of my humor fled and was replaced with a shot of jealousy. I’d just assumed Quinn was single, but in actuality, I had no idea if he was or wasn’t. A glance at Beck showed he didn’t seem as carefree as he had a moment ago. He shot me a glance and just like that my laughter was snuffed out and all I could think was one thing as Hunter continued his story. Ours. Jesus,””
