Furniture Quote by Gayle Forman
““It’s something that never comes off, no matter how much you might want it to.” “You’re comparing love to a…stain?” He leans so far back in his seat that the front legs of his chair scrape off the floor. He looks very satisfied, with the crepe or with himself, I’m not sure. “Exactly.””
