Every day Quote by Rachel Van Dyken
““Had I known you had pure, or what you thought were pure intentions, in that silly mind of yours, I wouldn't have tried to kill you." Philip let out a bark of laughter. "Well, as far as apologies go, that wasn't half bad. Not every day a man comes in and apologises for wishing you dead.””
