Dread Quote by Jennifer E. Smith
““But it’s more than that. It’s the same icy dread that fills her each time she starts to imagine it; not just the goodbye, but everything that’s to come afterward: the hurt that will surely trail them to opposite coasts, so strong that she can already feel it even now, when he’s only inches away. The truth is, she’s still waiting for her heart to get on board with the decision her head has made. But she’s running out of time.””
