Remembered Quote by Debra Anastasia
““He tried to remember the feel of her hand when she’d shaken his. “I’m Livia McHugh. It’s nice to meet you.” Smoke poured from the cardboard as he remembered his response. “Blake Hartt. It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance.” He’d said his name, but what he’d been thinking was: She touched me. I am someone. I count.””
