Anna Quote by J.M. Richards
““He’s a vampire.” I laughed again, feeling there was no end to the outrageous, ridiculous excuses we were coming up with. “Seriously, it makes sense. He’s always tired and pale, and keeps himself away from people so he won’t bite them…Maybe that’s what he’s doing when he disappears. Getting his fix of blood.””
