Gaze Quote by Lynsay Sands
““It’s kind of rude of you to read my mind, don’t you think? I’d appreciate it if you’d all stop that. If you don’t, I might just put some nasty thoughts in there for you to find.” “Nasty thoughts?” Justin asked with amusement. “Things you won’t enjoy finding,” she assured him. “Oh, now you just have me curious,” he said, focusing on her forehead. Valerie’s eyes narrowed on the young immortal, and then she tightened her lips and closed her eyes. A heartbeat later, Justin gasped and stepped back, his expression horrified. “Eww, that’s disgusting,” he exclaimed, giving his head a shake as if trying to get an image out of it. “Anytime you want a refresher, give my brain a go,” Valerie said sweetly, and then added grimly, “I’m a vet. There’s plenty more where that came from.””
