Gaze Quote by R.C. Ryan
““Is that a plane?" Marilee awoke with a start,surprised to find the sun already high. Wyatt shaded the sun from his eyes to scan the sky. As the sound grew louder they both sat up at the same moment. "A truck." Wyatt pointed. "Coming from that direction.Probably Jesse and Zane with that flatbed they promised." "Oh,no.Look at me.What was I thinking?" With a cry Marilee grabbed up her discarded clothes and started dressing. When she finished she tossed Wyatt's clothing at him. "Aren't you going to put these on?" "Yeah.No rush." "No rush?" She was already climbing into the cockpit of the plane to retrieve her gear. Men, she thought. If they were standing naked in Grand Central Station, they would probably take their sweet time finding something with which to cover themselves.””
