Every step Quote by Kresley Cole
““W-we both know your life would be so much simpler without me! I am just a thorn in your paw." He nodded easily. "And it reminds me of you - every move I make, I think of you." My lips parted. Again I realized that he was the only thing in my life that made me feel sane, made me want to fight for a future. "Evangeline, I've got to feel you with my every step." His shaking hand closed over my nape, squeezing. "Or I go a little crazy, me.””
