Alarm clock Quote by Lia Habel
““ Miss Dearly: I'll be outside, if you don't want to open the door. But when you're ready, I'd like to play a game with you. Ask me any question you like, and I'll answer truthfully. If the answer makes you feel a little safer, reward me by undoing one of the locks. I play to get my room back, you play for the confidence to be able to leave it. Oh, by the way: Could you wind my alarm clock? -Captain Abraham Griswold ””
