Breath Quote by Nicole Williams

“Leaning in so close his nose was almost brushing mine, he asked, “How much harder?” I sucked in a slow breath, hoping my answer wouldn’t make it seem like I was hyperventilating. “Use your brain, since you’ve made it clear you don’t use it for academics.” quote by Nicole Williams
