Devil Said Quote by Susane Colasanti
““And besides, Cath still wasn't sure whether Nick was actually hot or whether he just projected hotness. Specifically in her direction. Someone sat down next to her on the bench, and Cath glanced up from her phone. Nick tilted his head up in greeting. "Think of the devil," she said, then wished she hadn't. "You thinking about me?" "I was thinking...of the devil," Cath said stupidly.””
