Gaze Quote by Jo Goodman
““It is necessary to know that Cole is a neat-freak. They are both exhausted after a medical situation happens in the story. This is not part of the quote. "Cole sat at the head of the table at a right angle to Rhyne. He snapped his napkin open and tucked one corner into the collar of his shirt. When Rhyne looked at him in surprise, he said, "You're too busy to do more laundry. I thought I'd try to keep my shirts reasonably clean." Rhyne continued to stare at him. "What?" he asked, looking down at himself. "Have I already spilled something?" "My heart," she said feelingly. "All over you.””
