Last Seen Quote by M.A. Wilder
““Having to deal with all of this surrealism was one thing, but it didn’t help matters that Aaron was mesmerizing to the point of distraction. Those eyes. That voice. That hair…well maybe not the hair. Those blonde strands were looking a little more chaos than organized since she’d last seen him several months ago. But that body. Man, that body. And that face. It was all too much to take, especially as Beckit was trying to process all of this new information. She was seriously beginning to think that he should have come with a government-issued warning label: DO NOT STARE DIRECTLY INTO THE FINE.””
