Quote by Donna AnnMarie Smith

“It’s just a shirt. I have no emotional connection to it or the band. I just didn’t feel like coming to work topless today.” Camden’s hand slammed down on the counter. “Shit, are there days that you come topless? I would like to make sure I’m here for that.”

“It wasn’t fair. It wasn’t fair that I’d been denied this. It wasn’t fair that I knew the second this was over, I’d miss it so much it would hurt. In another lifetime, one that wasn’t so cruel, the Scotts could have been my parents. What that would have been like to be given smiles instead of bruises. To be embraced in a hug and not restrained for a punishment. To be read a bedtime story instead of hiding in my closet until I knew I’d be spared. To be snuggled with and not left in the corner, cold and ignored. They would dry my tears instead of causing them. They would speak words of love and not ones to wound my soul. And when the nightmares came to haunt me, their arms would have held me tight and protected me instead of becoming the very thing I ran from. But life was cruel and these parents weren’t mine. I’d only known hurt and loneliness. Scars had marked my skin instead of kisses. Words of hate had filled my ears. Fear was my world and every waking moment was the nightmare.”

“Will there be anything else? Want to know my blood type? Time of the month? Social security number?” Thinking that over, I nodded. “And your astrological sign would be helpful.” “If you want to know any of that about me, it’s time you get a hobby. Maybe start a navel fluff collection, take up extreme ironing, or dress like a pirate.” “I’d make a damn fine pirate.”
