@thisiamowed asked: i have never believed i'm fit to be loved by any person. ( for older Finney ? )
"Stop that," Finney bit out without thought or hesitation. Maybe he shouldn't have been so curt with his mother, but he couldn't stand to hear his mom utter such things. Harmony had been in Finney's life for so long, there were times he'd almost forget that she wasn't his biological mom.
But then, fifteen years in the care of a woman like her, it was easy to think she was there the whole time.
"You deserve nothing but the best. You deserve someone who doesn't just love you, but will treat you like the perfect person you are." Finney took both of her hands into his own. "Look, I know Gwen and I can be a bit... particular about the guys we see you with, but that's only because you deserve so much better than you're settling for. You deserve someone to worship the ground you walk on, and I'm not going to let you accept otherwise."
