Gaze Quote by Michele Sinclair
““So,tell me,just how long have you known the king...I mean personally?" Ranulf pivoted and followed her with his vision as she went back to the prickly bush to pick more flowers. She was shutting him out and he didn't know just what it was she was protecting or why. But pressing would not gain her trust. "Not long and yet forever," he finally answered. Bronwyn's mouth curved into an unconscious smile. "You know,that is exactly how I feel about you.””
