About This Quote

When a person named Harlow Harlow said, “She may have been the one whose name meant music, but his sounded like it. Saying it made her want to sing it, to lean out a window and call him home. To whisper it in the dark,” he was expressing his love for a woman named Edna Young. Young had been convicted of murder on two separate occasions for killing her husbands. Yet Harlow still loved her, and his words prove that he was willing to take a chance on her despite what she had done.
