Whispers Quote by Tahereh Mafi
““He's still looking at me, searching my eyes like he's found something he can't bear to walk away from. His hands move to my face; his thumb brushes my cheek. His voice is so tender when he speaks. "You will go on to greatness," he whispers. "I have never deserved you." My heart.””
