Gaze Quote by Kersten Hamilton
““She knows we can see her, right?" "The light's behind her," Teagan pointed out. "All she sees is her own reflection." "Face check," Abby said, as Ms Skinner stretched her lips again, then puckered. She dug a lipstick out of her purse and applied it. "Uh-huh. Now the hair," Abby said. As if on cue, Ms. Skinner rearranged her ginger bangs, fluffed them, then twisted a strand around her finger to make it curl. "That woman's man-hunting. Hide your dad, Tea." "Don't ler her get Dad!" Aiden shouted from his fort. "Nobody is getting Dad," Teagan assured him.””
