Gaze Quote by Anne Osterlund
““I was afraid you would walk off and never see me again and I would never be able to forget you. His hand came up and touched it. He pulled her head to him. And his lips met hers. Soft. So soft, at first, like melted ice cream. And then deeper. And her lips were answering his.””
