Life Quote by Margaret Maron
““Okay,” I say at last. “But you have to teach me how to do animals. I can’t keep myself from wilting when I’m a plant, so I’ve been afraid to try a living form.” She laughs and shifts into the shape of a large golden retriever and almost licks me to death before I can make her stop.””
