Long legs Quote by Lauren Barnholdt
““You don;t believe me?" He sound wounded, like the thought of me not believing him makes him incredibly sad. "No." "Then come with me," he says. He unfolds his long legs and stands up. "To Cooley's. You'll see they just posted the schedule. If I'm lying, I'll buy you a chocolate shake." "And If you're not?" "Then I'll still buy you a chocolate shake." He grins at me.””
