Quote by Julie James
““You amaze me, Cameron.” That got a slight smile out of her. “High praise, coming from someone who knows how to kill people with paper clips and everything.” Jack looked over in surprise. “You know about the paper clips?” He stroked his chin. “Hmm. Now that was good. Even for me.” Cameron stared at him, stupefied. He laughed. “I’m just kidding.” Mostly. Staples maybe, but never paper clips. ””
