Kitchen table Quote by J.T. Ellison
““Taylor jerked her head to the right, signaling to Fitz to follow her. They left the grieving Harrises at the kitchen table and stepped outside, closing the French doors behind them. Taylor pulled her sunglasses out of her pocket and put them on. Fitz had a furrow between his eyebrows. “Anything new?” “No.””
