Gaze Quote by John Forrester
““Rikar rose early in the morning to escort Lenora and Nuella to their uncle’s house, ignoring Lenora’s futile protests. Talis said goodbye to them, noticing the look of trepidation and sadness in Lenora’s eyes. He didn’t buy her fake emotions for a moment. For some strange reason she wanted to stay with them and continue on to the island, but everyone had agreed they had no interest in having her along.””
