Different people had different energy demands. Some people took more from me than others. Dad, for example, was low energy.

“Damn. Double homicide,”
Joseline's Cabaret reference lol
I should never have done it.
Briana is impulsive be ause there was no need to take it that far because she didn't like his ex.
I am deeply in love with this man. And only five percent of that is because of what he’s doing for you.” I realized in that moment that it was true.
“Nope.”
