Quote by Kristen Ashley
““I wish I had all day to watch this show but I got things to do,” Darius put in. “You gonna call this in?” he asked Eddie. “Yeah.” Eddie’s eyes moved to Lee. Eddie had taken off his shades and slid an arm in the collar of his tee so they were hanging at his throat. “We gotta talk. Do you think Betty and Veronica here can keep an eye on these two?” “I get to be Veronica,” Ally said instantly. I turned to her. “Why do you get to be Veronica?” I didn’t want to be Betty, Betty was a doormat. Veronica had attitude. “I’m so Veronica,” Ally said in answer. “Unh,” the hit man groaned. “Jesus,” Darius said.””
