Every day Quote by Sylvia Day
““She's upset." "Screaming upset? or crying upset?" "Does it matter?" "Yes. There's a difference between being mad at a guy and being a teary mess over him. For example: Deanna is mad and can plot your destruction; I was a teary mess and could barely crawl out of bed every day.””
