Shattering Quote by Michael Scott

“Dora pushed the mirror, sending it shattering to the floor. “Whoops.” She turned to face Dee and pulled off her dark glasses to reveal the mirrors of her eyes. “You should go now. You’ve got about three seconds.” Dee didn’t quite make it out of the shop before it exploded.” quote by Michael Scott
