He was the man to be her lover. ~Sabrina Jeffries
#quotes #sabrina-jeffries #love

I'm not married, and I don't have any kids, so sometimes I envy that end of things when I see a family vacation or people at the beach with their kids or at sporting events with their kids; you wonder, "Is that a part of your life that you want to go into?" ~Kevin Connolly
