Slammed Door Quote by Sarah J. Maas
““Rowan counted every weapon she put in the bucket as though he’d already learned how many she’d been carrying, even the hidden ones. Then he tucked the bucket against his side and slammed the door without so much of a good-bye beyond “Be ready at dawn.” “Bastard. Old stinking bastard,” she muttered, surveying the room.””
