Affair Quote by Aimee Carter
““Wordlessly James gathered me up and buried his face in my hair. "I was supposed to be your first affair." A lump formed in my throat, and I hugged him back fiercely. "I don't think it counts as an affair if the thought of Cronus makes me sick to my stomach." "So there's still hope for me, after all.””
