Fitness Quote by Kristin Rae
““In La Spezia, we settle into our seats on the train that will bring us all the way to Naples. Nina and I take the window seats facing each other across a tiny table. Tate, of course, sits next to Nina, which puts Darren next to me. Before the train even leaves the station, the three of them pull out their iPods and press the earbuds into their ears. You’ve got to be kidding me.””
