Toga Quote by Loretta Chase
““»Ne bi se trebao služiti muškim lukavstvima«, rekla je, stegnuta grla. »Što sam to tako neoprostivo učinila?« Natjerala si me da te želim, rekao joj je na svojem materinjem jeziku. Učinila si me klonulim duhom, usamljenim. Natjerala si me da čeznem za onim za što sam se zakleo da nikad neću trebati, nikad to iskati””
