Right now Quote by Sarah McCarty
““Your hunger is returning." Like she didn't know that. "That's why I came back down here, to let you know." "And instead you ended up hearing what you shouldn't have." "I'd say I came back just in time to hear what I needed to." She pinched his arm, letting him know with her eyes that she would pinch harder if he didn't see reason. "Let me go." "I'm feeling a bit protective right now, so you probably want to be humoring me." "This millennium protective, or eighteen sixties protective?" "Definitely eighteen sixties.””
