Gaze Quote by Jenn Bennett
““I brush off my skirt and notice that a small trail of blood runs from a nasty scrape on my knee. I don’t even care. I’m still on an oh-so-sweet adrenaline high. Porter grins, eyebrows high. “Damn, Bailey. You took him downtown. Full-on atomic drop body slam. I had no idea you had it in you.” Me neither, to be honest. “No one steals from Sam Spade and gets away with it,” I say. He holds his hand up, and I slap it””
