Quotes by Wesley Straton (?)

― Wesley Straton, The Bartender's Cure

― Wesley Straton, The Bartender's Cure

“Haley sounds genuinely angry, which shouldn't make me happy, but it does. If the apartment were on fire and she could save only one of us, I have to believe it would be me. I can't tell you why this is so important, but it is.”
― Wesley Straton, The Bartender's Cure
