Julia Quinn Quote
He was not quite sure how to phrase it, so he finally went with,haltingly, I don’t enjoy being at the center of attention.Her head tilted to the side, she regarded him for a long momentbefore saying, No. You don’t. And then: You were always atree.I beg your pardon?Her eyes grew sentimental. When we performed our awfulpantomimes as children. You were always a tree.I never had to say anything.And you always got to stand at the back.He felt himself smile, lopsided and true. I rather liked being atree.You were a very good tree. She smiled then, too—a radiant,wondrous thing. The world needs more trees.
