Becky Quote by Sophie Kinsella
““Becky . . .” Luke looks at me carefully. “Have you ever been on a horse in your life?” “Yes! Of course I have!” Once. When I was ten. And I fell off. But I probably wasn’t concentrating or something. “Just be careful, won’t you?” he says. “I’m not quite ready to become a widower.””
