Gaze Quote by Colleen Hoover
““I stand up and walk forward, grabbing the arm of the desk chair. I sit back down on the bed and pull her to me until she’s flush against my legs. I place my hands on her cheeks and force her to look at me. “Layken Cooper, I love you. I’ve loved you since the second I laid eyes on you and I haven’t stopped loving you for a second since.””

![“My publicist told me that a magazine was going to say I was having a thing with either Sam Claflin or Bradley Cooper, and I got to choose. And I chose Bradley Cooper because I love Sam's fiancée so much. [Sam is] so sweet. So sweet that he's almost not hot anymore.” quote by Jennifer Lawrence](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/bdc/jennifer-lawrence-1354_hot_my-publicist-told-me-that-a-magazine-was_848015.jpg)
