Delilah Quote by L.H. Cosway
““You know, you should think about getting in touch with Gabriel, he's your half-brother and also a really good guy.” Delilah looks at me cynically. “Gabriel despises me.” “He despises Ethan, you I think he might just have some time for. After all, you're both dhamphirs.” “That's like me telling you you'll get along with George Bush because you're both human.” Delilah replies snidely. I get her point, but still I grin and respond. “You're right, we would definitely get along. He'd make me feel all intelligent and shit.””
