Children Quote by Chiara Cilli
““Morwen watched disgusted the mawkishnesses that the man exchanged with his daughter, dripping with fresh blood. She looked down on the floor and stepped toward the counter, putting the knife dirty over it. «He wouldn't,» she whispered to herself by going to the door.””
