Person Quote by Kasie West
““He lay back on the rock, wadding up the towel and putting it under his head. “You know, you’re the only person I can sit still with.” “What do you mean?” “I mean, I like to be in motion. I get antsy when I’m doing nothing. But you’re so good at it that I don’t mind it at all.””
