Famous Kerri Maniscalco Quotes

“Camilla sobbed, and then gently pulled him onto her lap, stroking his head. 'Please. Please get up.' She had read enough fairy tales as a young girl to know that the prince was supposed to wake the love of his life with a kiss. But Envy was a demon, and Camilla was no damsel in distress. She pressed her lips to his forehead. He didn't magically stir.”
