Shook Head Quote by A.E. Davis
““That’s a loaded question.” His eyes flashed and not in a good way. “You sure you’re ready for the answer?” His brow hitched up a notch. “Ah…” I suddenly found it hard to take a breath. He shook his head and a sad look crossed his face, the same one I remembered from my dream. I suddenly felt sick to my stomach.””
