Gaze Quote by Leigh Bardugo
““I want you focused on what we have to do tomorrow night. After that, you’ll get all the information you want.” “Really?” asked Nina, tugging at her corset. Pollen from one of the irises had scattered over her bare shoulder. Matthias had the overwhelming urge to brush it away with his lips. It’s probably poisonous, he told himself sternly. Maybe he should take a walk.””
