Confidence Quote by K. Webster
““Violet makes me better,” I tell him, confidence in my tone. He smirks. “I can see that. I can see she’s warmed up to you.” “She’s mine,” I tell him absently as if that is the reason why she is no longer frigid around me. “Does she know that?” he probes, amusement in his voice. “I told her a time or two.” He””
