Eyes Stabbed Quote by Colleen Hoover

“Layken, you're dead!" Kel shouts, through the open window as he thrusts his imaginary sword into my neck. He waits for me to slump over, but I just roll my eyes at him. "I stabbed you. You're supposed to die!" he says. "Believe me, I'm already dead.” quote by Colleen Hoover
