Gaze Quote by Erin Lawless
““She imagined how dancing with Seth would feel. All those years ago, when he’d first put his arms around her - breathing hot and beery over her face, into her mouth - and still she’d melted, wanted them to press closer together than physics allowed, wanted them to occupy the same time and space, for always.””
