Defeat Quote by A. Kirk
““Oh,” he said with resigned defeat. “Would you rather…have someone else? Please don’t say Blake. He’ll be impossible—” “No, it’s—” Ayden slapped his forehead. “Matthias.” I choked. He raked his fingers through his hair and nodded. “Girls always go for the dark brooding one with the tortured past. Should’ve seen that coming””
