Gaze Quote by Katie MacAlister
““Here I am! Sorry I’m late, but I had a bit of trouble locating your secret clubhouse. Did I miss anything good?” Three of the four male faces in the room turned to me with astonishment. The fourth shook his adorable head resignedly. “We have not yet started. Out of idle curiosity, how did you find this room?” I donned my most haughty look as I perched myself on the arm of his comfy leather chair. “You expect me to reveal my Guardian secrets? Ha! I think not, plebeian!” Drake’s eyes narrowed in thought. “Ah. The ward at the entrance.” “Dead giveaway,” Jim said, plunking itself down in front of a small fireplace that was merrily blazing.””
