Told Beautiful Quote by Judith McNaught

"I'd think you were trying to appear modest." "Then what am I supposed to do now?" he teased. "I suppose you should try to look a little flustered and embarrassed by the flattery." "I don't fluster or embarrass very easily." "In that case, you could try to fluster me by telling me how I look," she hinted broadly.””

"Wrong answer," I told him. I let go. [...] I looked him in the eye. "I will always love you." Then I plunged the stake…” quote by Richelle Mead](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/7d5/richelle-mead-46_dimitri_why-i-asked-softly-the-word-was-carried_408033.jpg)
