Destiny Quote by Cindy Ray Hale
““Destiny, you need to learn something. Rules are made to be broken.” My mouth almost unhinged itself from sheer disbelief. “Hannah, we could get in big trouble.” “Not if we don’t get caught,” she said with a naughty grin. With that kind of attitude, I didn’t see how Hannah was going to last three months at Bethel. These people were all about rules, and strict ones at that.””
