Gaze Quote by Jamie McGuire

“Do you trust me, Pidge?” “Yeah, why?” “C’mere,” he said, pulling me against him. I stiffened for a second or two before resting my head on his chest. Whatever was going on with him, he needed me near him, and I couldn’t have objected even if I’d wanted to. It felt right lying next to him.” quote by Jamie McGuire
