Quotes by Nicole VanAuken (?)

“If you look up the definition of off limits, you'll see Maddison Raddix's name right next to it. Which means, unfortunately, that I have to keep my feelings-and d*ck- away from this woman.”

“But if you continuously give your loyalty to someone who no longer deserves it, it will only hurt you in the long run.”
