Friendship Quote by Kristin Hannah

“Kate heard the bravado in her friend’s voice and saw it in her eyes. “I prayed for you.” “You did?” Tully asked. “Wow. Thanks.” Kate didn’t know what to say to that. To her, praying was like brushing your teeth before bed, just something you did. Tully” quote by Kristin Hannah
