Circus Quote by Jennifer Sommersby

“Later, in the million times I replay the details of this night, I will remember - and hate myself for not noticing - how Delia's smile didn't reach her eyes. She was worried, and I missed it. But in the moment, cues must be met. The circus stops for no one.” quote by Jennifer Sommersby
