Cole-and-nikki Quote by Brodi Ashton
““Stop looking at it," Cole commanded. "Focus on walking." I turned to face him and he raised an eyebrow at my appearance. "What is it?" I said. He bit his lip. "It's okay. I always thought you should have short hair." My hand flew up to the side of my head. I felt brittle, curly strands that fell away as I touched them.””
