Gaze Quote by Samantha Long
““At the thought of Lilli being in the hands of demons, Sophie rested her forehead on the windowsill. She wondered what was happening to Lilli right then, and if she was even still alive. A fresh wave of despair crashed over her. Akeldama was taking everyone she cared about. Who would be next? “You’re awake.” Tristan’s voice was deep and husky from sleep. It rumbled from his chest, slipping through her despair. She turned and leaned back against the wall, light-headed from just that small movement. Her heart jumped when she realized that he was no longer on the bench, but was now sitting next to her on the bed. “How are you feeling?” He reached out and brushed a stray strand of hair off of her forehead. The tenderness in the gesture had Sophie””
