Dishonest Quote by Nora Roberts
““Hey,man,got a problem?" "Veronica left me." Ivan crossed one leg over the other and was obviously jiggling his foot. "Oh,yeah? For some other guy, huh?" "No." "How come?" Macintosh never altered positions, and the very absence of action made the point. "Because I was selfish, rude, arrogant,dishonest, stupid and generally nasty." Ivan considered the toe of his boot. "Is that all?" "Yeah." "Women," Ivan said with a shrug. "Never satisfied." Gennie read the strip twice, then looked up helplessly. Without a word,Serena took the paper from her hand and read it herself. She chuckled once, then set it back down. "Want me to help you pack?””
