Hell yeah Quote by Lish McBride
““Are we going where I think we are?” he asked. “Hell, yeah,” I told him, turning the key in the ignition. I steered the car toward the highway that would take us to my mother’s house. “And I hope she’s got a few good answers.” “I hope,” Ramon said, “that she’s made cookies.” I glared at him. “Don’t look at me like that. If we were going to interrogate my poor mother for whatever, you’d be secretly hoping she’d made you tamales. I’m just honest enough to admit it.””
