Marriage Quote by Tendai Huchu
““There was nothing physical happening between them yet. She was still of that naive age where you actually believe that it would only happen after marriage. I didn't want to tell her how hand-holding turned into kissing, that turns into something else and then bam you're fucking. That relationships sour over time is a lesson that comes with age, so who was I to burst her youthful bubble? [69]””
