Glared Quote by Courtney Allison Moulton
““I frowned at him. "You didn't let anyone write on you? How does that happen? He gave me a disapproving look. "Seriously, Ellie?" "Ah," I said. "You must have glared at them just like that. I'm the only one who's not afraid of you. Maybe I could draw over your tattoos so they glow and write BADASS on your forehead. All I've got is pink, though. Hope you don't mind.””
