Gaze Quote by Elizabeth Nicole
““Feeling suddenly slightly liberated and relaxed, I looked over at him. His eyes fixed on the seat in front of him. His hands were in his lap, fingers dancing around in the air as if he was anxious. “I know I love you because even when you just punched me in my stomach…and by the way, that hurt” he stopped and smiled at me. “I wanted to kiss you.” As soon as the words left his lips, my mouth popped open. My cheeks were hot. The kid in front of us was grinning. He locked his eyes on me and waited for my response. Nosy little kid.””
