Good enough Quote by Tere Michaels
““Shut up, Kathleen.” “Shut up, Miranda.” “God, enough with the shut ups, please,” Evan said, walking down the stairs looking good enough to eat (at least to Matt). . . . “Hi.” Matt held up the bag of melting Ben & Jerry’s. “I uh…this belongs in the fridge.” “I’ll make room.” “I’ll follow.” “I’ll vomit,” Miranda muttered ... Kathleen took great delight in asking “Why she’s got that stupid smile on her face?””
