Gaze Quote by Kristan Higgins
““There was a little smile on his mouth—the mouth that had been kissing hers. Otherwise, he was incommunicado. “Liam?” she said again, more loudly this time. Nada. He was out cold. Down for the count. She straightened abruptly. Face was burning, joints buzzing with adrenaline, chest filled with helium. Liam Murphy had kissed her. And he’d fallen asleep in the middle of it. She didn’t know whether to burst into song or kick something.””
