Fia Quote by Kiersten White
““She rubs her arm where I grabbed her. “What do you do to the people you don’t like?” I flash my teeth like knives in the dark. “Do you really want to know?” She kicks my shin in a halfhearted pout. “You think different around him, you know.” “Oh?” A cab pulls to the side and I open the door. “Clearer. Happier. But scarier.””
