Laughed Quote by Anne Greenwood Brown

“Calder, do you like me?" And then I laughed, breaking the spell. Her eyes flashed open and blood flooded her cheeks. She pushed off, but I reached out and pulled her toward me again. That one second of physical separation was too painful a void.” quote by Anne Greenwood Brown
