Education Quote by Suzanne Brockmann
““Bobby Taylor, will you marry me?” she asked. “Will you help me find a law school near San Diego, so I can transfer and be with you for the rest of my life?” Bobby smiled. It was much easier to let a Skelly do the talking. “Yes.” “I love you,” she said. “And I know you love me.””
