Purse Quote by Holly Black
““He picked up her purse from where it rested beside her and shook it gently. “In case you were concerned. All just as you left it.” She nodded. “Thanks. Although I guess whether I’ll ever get to use that marker is pretty up in the air right now.” “You should have let me eat her in that parking lot,” Gavriel said, raising his eyebrows.””
