Waited Quote by Sarah McCarty

“Why?" Why wouldn't he let her go? Why did he make her stay? She felt the brush of his lips over her hair. "Because I need you." "You don't know me." "I know." His finger under her chin lifted her face. "But I've waited centuries for the chance.” quote by Sarah McCarty
