Laughed Quote by Bella Forrest
““I did not throw up on everyone,” she said with a twinkle in her eye. “Only a select few.” Alex laughed, but his heart wasn’t in it. By the door, Jari let out an indignant noise. “Not as funny if you were one of the few,” he said, folding his arms. “I thought you could handle it,” Natalie said seriously, looking back at him. “I didn’t want to throw up on anyone too sensitive. But I am sorry. I could not help it.””
