Asked Quote by Linda Howard
““Just how many pairs of black shoes do you need?” he finally asked, staring at them lined up on the floor. Okay, shoes aren’t a laughing matter. I gave him a cool stare. “One pair more than I have.” “Then why didn’t you get them?” “Because I would still need one pair more than I have.””
