Gaze Quote by Amber Lynn Perry
““Thomas started out the door then paused and pivoted, looking over his shoulder. “You know, Kitty, ‘tis about time someone else started mending Nathaniel’s clothes for him.” He winked and darted down the stairs before Kitty had time to respond, or to smother the dream of a future her heart so longed to nourish, but one that would never be.””
