Cole Quote by Brodi Ashton
““I grabbed the sides of my desk, as if I were about to pick it up and move it. Like a crazy person. Cole walked over and noticed how I was grabbing my desk. He raised an eyebrow. "I think when Mrs. Stone said to take our seats, she didn't mean literally take our seats.””
