Belle Quote by Julia Quinn

“You make me sound like some kind of heartless ice princess.' 'No, of course not, Belle. I must admit, you have always been uncommonly nice to every pimply-faced boy who has ever asked you to dance.' 'Thank you. I think.' 'It's probably why so many pimply-faced boys ask you to dance.” quote by Julia Quinn
