I'm not sure if I've ever read a sentence like this one: “If you want to come, get in,” Kyle opened the car door, “but don’t be mad at me if you get in trouble for missing curfew.” Am I, like, phrasing that wrong in my mind so that it sounds like a mistake? It feels like there still needs to be a speech tag or something.jstarickahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08182648047265536102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-82414413579017089302012-08-17T14:07:29.160-05:002012-08-17T14:07:29.160-05:00This is great!
