Gaze Quote by Lisa Roecker
““There was one obvious solution to this problem, but it involved me uttering four inconceivable words to Seth Allen. This was not going to be pretty. "Take off your pants," I mumbled in Seth's direction. "What?" Seth's voice was shrill as it cracked. "Your pants. Take them off." I spoke louder now, impatient. "But...I'll be naked and cold, and I still haven't had the chance to bulk up my legs at the gym so I'm just not sure..." I cut Seth off with with my best "Are you effing kidding me?" Face and jerked my head towards Maddie in the backseat. "Oh, right, I get it. Maddie needs pants and I have them, so I'll just go ahead and, um, well, strip down. Could you..." Seth's cheeks went up in twin flames.””
