Gaze Quote by Julie James
““Thanks, Dad.” They each took a sip of the scotch, and then there was a long pause between them. Grey leaned in. “You know this is the part of the father-son moment where I’m supposed to ask about this Rylann girl, right?” Kyle set his drink on the ledge and shoved his hands in his pants pockets. “Yep. And now this is the part where I say thank you but that I think I’ve said all I want to say about her tonight. Which will conveniently be followed by the part where a waitress walks up and asks if we’d like anything else to drink, eliminating all further discussion on that topic.” Just like that, there was a voice from behind them. “Excuse me, can I get either of you gentlemen something else to drink?” His father looked over his shoulder, saw the blond waitress standing behind them, and stared at Kyle in astonishment. Kyle smiled. “I paid her two hundred bucks to come over as soon as I put my hands in my pockets. I knew you and Jordan couldn’t stay out of my business for long.””
