Somber Eyes Quote by Nikki Jefford
““gaze was mysterious and somber. Eyes like those could hypnotize a person. “A couple days after you . . . died.” “Valentine’s Day?” Gray wasn’t sure she’d heard correctly. Raj began studying the lawn of the cemetery. Gray suddenly understood Raj’s fascination with the ground. The grass was obnoxiously green. Probably from all the human fertilizer below. “Want to get out of here?” Raj asked. Gray glanced sideways at her grave then nodded. “I don’t think lying in the damp grass above my grav””
