Waiting Quote by Laurie Faria Stolarz
““What are you doing here?” I ask, stepping out of the car. “Waiting for you.” He closes the car door behind me. “I called you earlier and your mom said you’d be home around nine. You’re two minutes early.” “Should I go away and come back?” “What do you think?” he asks, encircling my waist with his arms.””
