Barbarian Quote by Lili St. Crow
““Dylan sighed. Some days he sighed more than others, and some days it seems like he did nothing but . He had a face that could have been on a Roman coin, and I'd heard his real name was something unpronouncable and Goth. Not like black-lipstick-and-angst, but actual barbarian.””
