Alina Quote by Leigh Bardugo
““Mal took a single tentative step toward me. Then he closed the space between us in two long strides. One hand slid around my waist, the other cupped my face. Gently, he titled my mouth up to his. "Come back to me," he said softly. He drew me to him, but as his lips met mine, something flickered in the corner of my eye.””
