Bad thing Quote by Amy Andrews
““You know what they say about idle hands?” Idle hands were the devil’s tools. It might have done him more credit had he actually looked like that was a bad thing. She tried really hard not to think about his hands and the kind of sinning she assumed they got up to on a regular basis. If she’d ever met anyone more like the devil incarnate, Joss couldn’t remember.””
