Said Hurt Quote by Tamara Morgan
““That’s what you do. Whenever you get excited about something, you bounce all over him like he’s some kind of trampoline. But Fletcher isn’t springy like that—he just absorbs it. And you never see the dents you leave behind.” She sniffled, and this time she didn’t try to hide it. That had to be one of the cruelest things Sean had ever said to her. She would never hurt anyone like that—especially Fletcher. “I don’t leave dents.””
