about how much fun it would be to ride a motorcycle like they do in the book.
struggles to open the window again after she closes it, and when he finally does he pants 'Is that book evil?'
snaps her head around when she hears the voice. "Are you the one tapping at my window? What's wrong with my door?"
shrugs. 'I thought I'd be adventurous. Doors are boring. This way you'll remember my visit.' he grins.
looks at him, raising an eyebrow. "Oh," she answered. "No, the book isn't evil, it's about a motorcycle gang in America."
