The Quarterback and the Ballerina Quotes

much I believe in you.”

“You’re going first,” I said.  It was almost like a rain cloud had suddenly appeared over Ethan. He furrowed his brow as he dropped his gaze. “I was hoping we would dance first.” I shook my head. “Nope. You’ve already seen mine, now it’s time I see yours.” I nodded toward his guitar case.  A sinister expression passed over Ethan’s face and I had to sigh and roll my eyes. I knew he would take what I said the wrong way the moment it left my lips. “That’s not what I meant,” I said”
