Falling behind Quote by Lauren Kate
““They turned to look at her and all three pairs of eyes narrowed, as if they could tell instantly that she had not been bred to attend high-society balls. "Ignore them," Bill said. "There are snobs in every lifetime. In the end, they've got nothing on you." Luce nodded,falling behind the trio, who passed through a set of mirrored doorways into the ballroom. The ultimate ballroom. The ballroom to end all ballrooms. Luce couldn't help herself. She stopped in her tracks and whispered, "Wow.””
