Amulet Quote by Nikki Jefford
““It’s lovely,” she said in a voice void of emotion. Gray couldn’t look at Raj. The charm was gorgeous—more precious to her than any piece of jewelry. She was afraid he would sense how much the gift meant to her. “Thanks.” Raj slouched back in his seat, all casual-cool. “A lot of luck it did you.” Gray squeezed the amulet in her hand as Raj had done moments before her. “I should go. My mom will worry.” Raj pushed back in his seat. “I’ll drive you to your car.” Gray thought they might arrive back””
