Coward Quote by Taylor V. Donovan
““No?” Mac taunted, “’Cause not even three weeks have passed since I talked you into forgettin' your precious rules. I seriously doubt much has changed in terms of feelings. From where I’m standin' it looks like you’re either a coward, or a selfish prick playin' push and pull with me, and right now I’m wonderin’ why the hell I should bother with you.””
