Family Quote by Mercedes Lackey
““I'm consumed with curiosity because if I know Dirk, he probably sent his family a two-tine note—"I'm getting married. I'll be there in a week,"—and no further explanation whatsoever." Skif laughed, and admitted that that was just about what Dirk had written, word for word.””
