Scars Quotes

'I might have, but I couldn't remember if I did,' he went on, tugging gently on the strap. 'Then I thought that it wasn't something you could say too often. You're beautiful, Poppy.'

The skipping was back, but I ignored it. 'That is a lot of adjectives.'

He smiled against my cheek. 'But you're comfortable, Princess.”
