Blind Quote by Johanna Lindsey
““You need to find yourself a new eye doctor. Trenton just happens to have one." Her eyes moved to him,then back to the cup she'd managed to get hold of. "There's nothing wrong with my vision," she replied indignantly. "You're as blind as a bat." "What an unkind thing to say," she said with a humph. "You get top honors on unkind remarks, Missy. I'm just stating the obvious." "Which isn't the least bit true." "Isn't it? How many fingers am I holding up?" When she said nothing, he added, "Uh-huh,I rest my case." She lowered her head a bit,conceding, he thought, until she replied triumphantly, "Three." He mumbled under his breath. "You were guessing." "And you have trouble admitting when you're wrong,don't you?””
