It's not the future that you're afraid of, it's repeating the past that makes you anxious.... Mackenzie Collins doesn't believe in the word "love" only "lust". But maybe deep down she has the feeling of needing someone, someone that can take care of her and love her, but maybe that need is locked away, overshadowed by so many thing that she doesn't even know that the need is there until she meets....... him. _____ WARNING!!
