Favorite Quotes:
"The poor thing does not know what she's unleashed, no idea how much she's changed the trajectory of her life. I know once I have her, it will be a long time before I let her go, if at all."
"You're my little pet. Not a plaything. Playthings are to be used and discarded. Pets are to be cared for, cherished and kept."
