Love Quote by Nora Roberts
““How do you feel about me?" "Tired of you!" she shouted. "Tired of me, tired of us. Sick and tired of telling myself fun and games could be enough. Well, it's not. Not nearly, and I want you out" He felt the temper and panic that had gripped him ease back into delight. "You're in love with me, aren't you?" He'd never seen a woman go from simmer to boil so fast. And seeing it, he wondered why it had taken him so long to realize he adored her. She whirled, grabbed a lamp, and hurled it.””
