Quote by Savannah Scott

“Tasha, my friend. You have become the one person I can count on to be honest with me here in the states. You support me without any hidden motives. You have made me laugh more than I thought I could. Will you do me the honor of being my wife—until Stuart do us part?”

However, a higher level of income inequality in our community can fray our sense of social trust.”
