Communication Quote by HelenKay Dimon
““Lauren frowned at Matthias. “We’re not dating.” It figured that was the part of the conversation she’d focus on. Garrett couldn’t imagine what Matthias would do with that information later. “Are you sure?” Matthias asked. Lauren’s frown only deepened. “Wouldn’t I know?” “Given Garrett’s skill with women? Possibly not.””
