Black hair Quote by Laurie Forest
““I stare at him, feeling as if I’m caught in a surreal scene. The son of the Black Witch, as wildly intimidating in appearance as his mother, with soaking wet tendrils of black hair spiked and flopping unevenly all over his head, using his overwhelming Level Five demon-slaying powers...to make me tea. It’s so...bizarrely domestic.””
