Bad boy Quote by Chelsea Cain
““She'd liked Pearl. Pearl hadn't meant to Tazer Archie. Well, she meant to Tazer him, but how was she supposed to know that her then-boyfriend was going to drag Archie away, suspend him naked from meat hooks and try to hack him up with an ax? Hadn't everyone had a bad boyfriend at some point? Pearl had made some bonehead choices, but she had a good heart.””
