Chasing Quote by Val Brelinski
““she had a sudden memory of playing Fox and Geese with her father at Christmastime and of the joy-filled terror in knowing that there was no escape. Knowing that the person chasing you, the large male person chasing you, would soon be on you and there was nothing, absolutely nothing, you could do.””
