Truth Quote by Tim McGregor
““No relationship is ever truly equal in the strength of its clutches on the other. If she could admit the truth, she always knew that Shane’s love for her was the stronger knot than hers to him. And this would kill him. In some dim corner of her heart, Tilda had always harboured a cold suspicion that she needed Shane more than she actually loved him.””
