Say Clever Quote by Nora Roberts
““You sell your own wares,then.Are you clever at it?" Shelby lifted her wine. "I like to think so." Tossing her hangs out of her eyes, she turned to Alan. "Would you say I was clever at it, Senator?" "Amazingly so," he returned. "For someone without any sense of organization, you manage to work at your craft,run a shop,and live precisely as you choose." "I like odd compliments," Shelby decided after a moment. "Alan's accustomed to a more structured routine. He'd never run out of gas in the freeway." "I like odd insults," Alan murmured into his wine. "Makes a good balance.””
