Gaze Quote by Michelle Rowen
““Well...unfortunately there's a little problem," he said. "What?" He pointed up. "That." I looked up to see the mistletoe dangling from the ceiling where I'd hung it three hours before. "Okay, but what does that-?" Rhys kissed me. "I really, really, didn't want to like that," he said. "Rhys-" But before I could say anything else, he kissed me again and pulled me closer.””
