No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 350



Herschel looked at me with those gentle, fatherly eyes - the kind that said, "In my heart, you'll always be my little girl. But I've got to tell you, being a stickler might work at your job, but it's not doing you any favors in your personal life."

"Yeah?"
