Blake Quote by Leanne Hall
““She puts her hand forward. "Come on, let's do a yay team!" Blake immediately puts her hand on top of Nia's. "I'm not doing that," I say. "Wolfie, do not deny us this simple pleasure. C'mon." I roll my eyes and put my hand on top of theirs. "Yay team!" Squeals Blake. And she's supposed to be the sensible one.””
