Gaze Quote by Sarah J. Maas
““Though after all he’s done, I think he deserved Chaol running him through like that.” Celaena looked toward the bedroom door. She still hadn’t seen Chaol since yesterday. Had the king punished him for all that he had done to help her? “That man cares for you more than either of you realize,” Nehemia said, a smile in her voice. Celaena’s face burned.””
