Girls Went Quote by Kiera Cass
““Almost all the girls who went home are already engaged to wonderful men. To be a part of the Selection at all makes you a prize. And you made it to the top four of the Elite at the very least. Trust me, Elise, guys will be lined up around the block for you.” Elise smiled. “I don’t need a line. I just need one.” “Well, I need a line,” Celeste said, making us all chuckle, even Elise. “I’d like a handful,” Kriss said. “A line does sound overwhelming.” They looked at me. “One.” “You’re nuts,” Celeste decided.””
