Butterflies Quote by Devon Herrera
““I look over at the man in question and just the sight of him gives me butterflies. No, not butterflies. Butterflies don’t quite do the trembling in my gut justice. These are freaking pterodactyls!! Huge, bird-like creatures are flapping around in my stomach just by looking at him. ””
