Calm Quote by Tessa Bailey
““The sound of pages flipping, the call of a gull, along with the muffled roar of the ocean and Samantha’s humming…all of it worked together to calm something in him. Odd, considering he’d always thought himself a low key man. But nothing compared to the peace that stole over him with this woman on his lap. It was bone deep, and it shifted past and future until they formed an arrow pointing right at them, where they sat on the balcony.””
