Beyond These Walls Quotes

«You know,» I began, «you're not perfect anymore either.»
«Oh, yeah?»
«The minute I saw those feminine products all over my bathroom, you suddenly became a little less perfect.»

«No. That just reminded me how strong you were,» I answered honestly. «How strong you still are.»”
