Jodi Picoult Quote
[Jules] slides into a seat beside me with her hot lunch tray, sighing. Four hours, thirty-six minutes, and twelve seconds till we’re out of purgatory for the weekend.Maybe later, I murmur, still distracted by the day’s previous events.So, let me show you how a conversation works. I say something, and then you say something back that actually relates to what I was talking about, as if you were even the least bit interested. Huh? I say.
