Gaze Quote by Sherrilyn Kenyon
““She filled a plate for herself and sat across from him. “How do you feel?” “Like I’ve been shot,” he replied drily. “Gee, I wonder why?” He glanced up at her, then quickly looked back at his food. “I’m surprised you’re speaking to me after what I said to you last night. I really am sorry for insulting you. You didn’t deserve it.” Kiara was still stung by the words, but she wasn’t willing to hold them against him when he’d been hurt. “My father tutored me well on amnesia. He always said it was a necessary ingredient for any friendship.” Nykyrian sipped his juice. “Your father’s very wise.””
