Christian Quote by Darby Browne
““Why aren't you excited?' Nelly asked. 'No reasons. Balls just aren't my idea of fun.' 'Why, you don't want to meet your prince charming?' Ginny looked up. 'Because though I may meet my prince charming, it won't matter. My prince charming has already been decided for me, whether my heart agrees or not.' Nelly fell silent, pondering what Ginny had said. 'It's about Christian, is it not?' 'Yes Nelly, it is.' 'Well who cares about Christian? Tonight is the night to have fun, to be free!Tonight is about Ginny, not Christian. Don't let Christian ruin your evening! Dance with as many boys as possible, lose your heart more than once, why, so you have stories to tell! Christian, for tonight at least, doesn't exist. Remember that. It takes two to dance a waltz.””
