Intimate Quote by Colleen Hoover

“We stand there, neither one of us speaking or moving, for several minutes. There's not a single kiss passed between us, not a single graze of my hand across her skin, not a single word spoken... yet somehow, this is the most intimate moment I've ever shared with anyone. Ever.” quote by Colleen Hoover
