Head Said Quote by Laura Lee Guhrke
““If Flynn’s as you say, the boy—Simon, you called him?—Simon should be all too happy to come away with us. I’ve no ill will toward him.” “You might remember Simon’s the one who gave you a great clout on the head,” she said. David waved it away. “And why shouldn’t he? He likely thought I was about to maul your unconscious person.””
