Like A Butterfly Quotes - Page 3

• Una vez que dejas que la gente sepa algo de lo que piensas, se acabó, estás muerto.

• Then she would be done with J. D. Jameson forever. No more having to prove herself; no more of those pesky jitters she felt whenever she saw him at work—something like butterflies in her stomach, it was actually quite annoying; no more stress; no more fights in the library; and definitely no more sexy I’m-gonna-kiss-you-now-woman blue-eyed heated gazes.
