Asked Quote by Wendy Higgins
““Which was your favorite place?" I asked "I've never been terribly attached to any place. I guess it would have to be ... here." I stopped mid chew and examined his face. He wouldn't look at me. He was clenching his jaw, tense. Was he serious or was he teasing me? I swallowed me bite. "The Texas panhandle?" I asked. "No." He seemed to choose each word with deliberate care. "I mean here in this car. Wth you.””
