Gaze Quote by Lorelei James
““Fine.” “Fine,” he retorted. Meridian grunted and her tail slapped the wall again. Time dragged on, yet there was no place Edgard would rather be than right there, even if they both were angry, frustrated and not speaking. Hell, it was practically normal for them. Casually, Trevor remarked, “You’re playin’ with your hair again.” Edgard lowered his hand. “Sorry.””
