Love Quote by Anne Stuart
““He released her hand back in her own lap. "Sometimes you give up what you love to stay alive." "Have you ever had to do that?" He turned his head to look at her so long it should have been dangerous, but he seemed to have a sixth sense when it came to the road. "It's coming," he said. And he turned away, driving into the slowly dawning day.””
