Gaze Quote by Sarah Rees Brennan
““Oh, wait, okay, you need my help. What do you need? Do you need practice kissing girls? That’s totally fine. I can do that. Come here, I’ll kiss you right now.” The creak of the door made Kami look away from Holly and Holly look up from the book. Ash looked as if he seriously wondered why it was always him.””
