Ass Muttered Quote by Gena Showalter

“Get into that file,” I commanded. “Want me to pull a rabbit out of my ass, too?” he muttered, his tone heavy with sarcasm. But he turned back to the screen, his fingers working furiously. “If you can show me that rabbit at the same time you get into that file, I might think you’ve got talent.”…” quote by Gena Showalter
