Repentant Quote by Nicole Grane
““I’m sorry I tried to burn you in the flames of Hell on your birthday.” She actually looked repentant. “It’s ok.” I patted her small back. “I’m sorry I made all those birds poop on your head.” Her eyes narrowed for a moment. Perhaps she hadn’t known I was responsible for that.””
