Pigeon Quote by Jamie McGuire
““So you’re the Pigeon, huh?” “No,” I snapped. “I have a name.” He seemed amused at the way I regarded him, which only served to make me angrier. “Well? What is it?” he asked. I took a bite of the last apple spear on my plate, ignoring him. “Pigeon it is, then,” he shrugged.””
