Gaze Quote by Sherrilyn Kenyon
““Solin seemed to take his brother's challenge in stride as he turned to Geary. "So tell me, lovely lady, where on earth did you happen to find my wayward brother?" She glanced at Arik over her shoulder to see him watching her before she answered. "Floating in the sea, but he won't tell me how it is he came to be there." "Knowing Arik, I'm sure he angered someone who threw him in, hoping he'd drown." "Actually they threw me in hoping I'd land on someone else and drown them. Unfortunately, you swam away too fast.””
