Glared Quote by Julia Quinn
““Once Spencer was safely out of the shop, John yanked her around to face him and said, 'What the hell do you think you’re doing?' Before she had a chance to answer him, Alex showed up at his side, grabbed Emma similarly and hissed, 'What the hell do you think you’re doing?' Persephone looked at Dunford and smiled, waiting for her turn, but much to her disappointment, he just stood there and glared at all three women.””
