Gaze Quote by Jason Matthews

““You’re very clever, aren’t you, Mr. Neyt Nash?” she said. “I came here to cry on your shoulder, to tell you about my mission against you, to tell you I helped you.” “I am grateful for all that,” said Nate, not wanting to show how scandalously relieved he was. Dominika could see it in his face nonetheless. “But you’re not asking me to work with you to avenge Marta, nor to get back at my uncle, or Volontov, or the rest of them, nor to try to reform my beloved country.” “I don’t have to tell you any of that,” he said. “Of course you don’t,” she said. “You’re too careful for that.” Nate looked at her without saying anything. “All you do is ask me what I want to do.” “That’s right,” said Nate. “Instead, suppose you tell me what you want me to do.” “I think we should begin working together. Stealing secrets,” Nate said immediately, his heart in his mouth. “For revenge, for Marta, for Rodina, for—” “No, none of those,” interrupted Nate. Gable’s words came into his head. Dominika looked at him. His purple halo had spread like the rays of a rising sun. “Because you need it, Dominika Egorova, because it helps you feed that temper of yours, because it’ll be something you own, for once in your life.””
