Quote by Madeleine Urban

“More bungalow-type setups. Rent by the week. Artsy places,” Zane explained. “It’s different.” “Do I look like an artsy type to you?” Ty asked, bristling on principle. It didn’t even faze Zane. “You look like sex on legs to me. You’ll blend in, no problem.” quote by Madeleine Urban
