Christina Dodd Quote

And you’re prickly enough about being young.She was amusing him. More than ever, I feel as if I’ve robbed the cradle.But she knew how to puncture his mirth. You are very old, she agreed demurely.He pushed her backward onto the grass.She laughed and fought him. Within minutes he had her arms trapped over her head, and he kissed her while the world whirled around them. I win! he said against her lips.Only because you used brute force.It’s better than drugs in a glass of wine, he retorted.You would think so, since you hold the brute force.He grinned down at her. But I did win.Yes, yes, you won. She dismissed his boasting as if it were of no consequence. Are you ever going to forget that stupid manacle?No, I think I’ll be bringing it up at inconvenient moments for the rest of our lives.At his ill-thought-out words, they both froze, their eyes wide with shock. Their gazes shifted away from each other.
