Asked Quote by J.D. Winters
““Why?” “Well, he needs it. He asked me to make sure you got it back to him right away.” “Yes, of course. Don’t worry about it.” I hesitated. “But…when?” “I’ll take care of it. Good night Mimi. We’ll talk tomorrow.” She closed the door. I stood there staring at it, feeling as though she’d slammed it in my face. What on earth was going on with her? Gary and the girls were back””
