Suit Quote by Tessa Bailey
““That’s not—” Hayden cut herself off, reminding herself she didn’t owe him apologies or explanations. “That’s right. Color me shocked that you managed to show up looking halfway decent. I thought you might ditch the suit and show up in a bolo tie.” “I’d thought about wearing my Spider-Man costume, but it’s at the cleaners.””
