Gaze Quote by Ella Dominguez
““He hugs me tighter than before - tighter than anyone has ever hugged me and it soothes me. I can’t deny myself this. I wrap my arms around him again and hug him as hard as I can. We just stand there hugging each other for what seems like forever. I don’t want to let go. I can hear his heart beating through his chest and it calms me.””
