Drugged Quote by K.E. O'Connor
““We were probably drugged," Lauren said, running her hands over the walls again. "You'd know about that," said Esmee. Lauren wheeled round. "What's that supposed to mean?" Esmee waved her hands at Lauren. "You look like you've done a few peace pipes in your time. Nice tattoo by the way." Lauren's fingers stroked the black treble clef tattoo on the inside of her left arm. "I like music." "Every potential employer's nightmare, a girl with a tramp stamp and an attitude.””
