Gaze Quote by Gina Damico
““Lex froze. "What boy?" "That boy I saw you with, before you came up to ring the bell. The windows of this house are fully functional, you know." Lex didn't even bother with a lie this time. "His name is Driggs. He's my partner." "Ah, partner. How very Law and Order." "Shut up, that's just how it works." "I see. And have you two had a romp in the hay yet, or would that upset Mr. Frizzle the rooster?””
