Secretive Quote by Anita Valle
““Here. Look.” Heidel dropped her voice to a secretive hush. “I’ll show you where I’ve hidden it.” Eravis stepped beside her. He leaned forward to peer at the cake, lips crooked in a cynical smile. Without the slightest hesitation, Heidel seized the back of his neck and shoved him, face down, into the cake.””
