Gaze Quote by Natalie J. Damschroder
““Rogan caught her hand just before she got out of his reach, and tugged her slowly back toward him. His eyes met hers, and she realized just how good an actor he’d been for the last few days. Where before she saw mild interest, now she saw intensity. Need. Purpose. He put his hand on the back of her head and dipped down for the kiss she’d daydreamed.””
