Quote by Penelope Douglas

“I’ll find my own way out,” I told him, turning away and heading for the door before he could see my lips tremble. But then he caught the inside of my elbow and yanked me backward, and I gasped as my back crashed into his chest. “Don’t go.” His voice shook.”

Proud of me?” “Go to the theater,” I blurted out. “Now. It’s an emergency. Stay there until I come and get you.” There was silence, and I half-expected to be questioned, but she didn’t fight. I heard her swallow. “Okay,” she replied quietly. “I’ll text when I’m there.” “Love you,” I said. “Love you too.”
