The Phantom of Drury Lane Quotes

“Do you find me hideous now, Lucia?” he teased, clearly unworried about his own scar. “Do I make you want to scream?” Lucy’s heart was hammering against her ribs. His words sounded as if they had another, far more seductive, meaning. How had things suddenly become so intimate? It felt as if they were the only two people in the ballroom. She clenched her fingers into a fist against the sudden bizarre desire to touch his injured face, and rallied gamely. “Scream? Only in aggravation.”
― Kate Bateman, The Phantom of Drury Lane
