“Because it’s crazy to me, Honeysuckle, that someone as beautiful and golden and good as you could want someone like me. I couldn’t kiss you until I let you see all of me, all of my past. Who I really am—an abandoned orphan from the wrong side of the tracks with nothing going for him, who will never be good enough for you. It’s impossible for me to believe that, after seeing that, you still want me.”
