Amor Quote by Anonymous
““Observei detidamente as suas mãos abertas como asas sobre o regaço, a cintura frágil a insinuar-se sob as pregas de alpaca, o desenho dos ombros, a extrema palidez da garganta e o desenho dos lábios, que teria querido acariciar com as pontas dos dedos. Nunca até aí tinha tido a oportunidade de examinar uma mulher tão de perto e com tanta precisão sem receio de me encontrar com o seu olhar.””
