“Where are we going?â€ Annabelle asked, resisting his hold on her wrist. â€œTo the house. If theyâ€™re not willing to be witnesses, then it seems Iâ€™ll have to debauch you in front of someone else.”
“The best thing you can do for someone is make them a beautiful plate of food. How else can you invade someone's body without actually touching them?”
