Quote by Sarah Dessen

“It seemed like this day could go in so many directions, like a spiderweb shooting out toward endless possibilities.

But it was happening.”

“The same rumour continued: Patroni made love the same way he did everything else – with a long, thin cigar stuck jauntily in the side of his mouth. This was untrue, at least nowadays. Marie, having coped with several pillow fires during their early years in marriage- drawing on her training as a TWA air hostess to extinguish them – had emphatically forbidden any more cigars in bed.”
