Brother Quote by Susan Dennard
““I can't believe she listened to you." I turned a wide-eyed gaze on Clarence. A grin tugged at his lips. "Yes, I imagine I'm the only person she'll listen to." "Well,I'm impressed." A warmth eased through my body. Despite his perfect features, he was not so difficult to talk to. "No doubt you'd do the same with your brother." "Not precisely." I smiled ruefully. "To be honest, I don't take orders well." "Then I shall be sure I never give you any.””
