Gaze Quote by Nicole Castle
““Where’s Vincent?” “Upstairs. Ordering a part. Does Bella know that you damaged my warp speed indicator?” Casey broke into laughter, then cleared his throat and rubbed the back of his head, trying to regain his composure. It was one thing to lie, but did Vin really need to say something so fantastical that no one but Frank would fall for it? “Your what?” “My indicator. For war…there’s no such thing, is there?””
