Oh yeah Quote by Tom Upton
““see on a cameo-- and her body wasn’t bad, either. For some reason, though, Ricky, lately, had lost interest in her. “Don’t give me ‘Oh, her daughter’ like you know everything,” he chided me. “She’s aside from the point.” “Oh?” “Yeah,” he said in a brooding tone. “You don’t like her anymore?” “I like her just fine,” he said, but the way he said it led me to believe that what he was saying wasn’t quite the truth. “But you’re not interested in her anymore,” I pointed out.””
