Hot Mouth Quote by Shannon Hale
““How could you miss it? Just the sound of her voice makes my chest feel tight, and my face gets hot and my mouth goes dry whenever she's near. It's getting so bad, all I have to do is see her and I'm already thinking, what does she want? What can I do for her? She's got some power over me, there's no question, and what else could it be? There was a heavy pause, then Enna burst out laughing. Finn smiled at his boots.””
