Quote

And you're not the kind of girl I want. Surely he couldn't mean the fact that I was Mexican. From what I knew of Hardy, there wasn't a bit of prejudice in him. He never used racist words, never looked down on someone for things they couldn't help. What kind do you want? I asked with difficulty. Someone I can leave without looking back.
