Nature Quote by Debra Anastasia
““As Livia dug her keys out of her pocket, she saw that Blake had been to her car. It was covered with little bits of nature: long blades of grass, twigs, and stones. When she got closer she saw more. Blake had used the flora to spell sorry over and over on the hood. And the roof. And the trunk.””
