More Than This
You can love. You can sacrifice.
But when the time comes... could you let go?
"At that moment, I wished I could be someone else. Someone who wasn’t scared to be touched by desire and feel the flames of passion burning through her."

"You don't get it Harper. I'm not supposed to feel anything,
but with you.... you make me feel everything."
— Reid
“It’s about pulling up your big girl pants and sprinkling the love.”
