Henley Quote by Teresa Mummert
““I know your type.” “Oh, yeah? What type is that?” “You’re all impulse and no consequences. Do you even think about how your actions make other people feel?” “Like that guy I hit? I’m pretty sure he felt pain.” “And the girls you use and throw away?” “Pleasure. Definitely pleasure.” He fought against a smirk. “Ugh. You’re shameless,” I scoffed.””
