Gaze Quote by Sloane Kennedy
““I didn’t know his name,” Logan muttered stupidly. “Dom broke the window to get in. He carried you out.” He heard Savannah choke up at the memory – a memory he didn’t share because he couldn’t bring anything from that day forth. “You weren’t breathing so Dom did CPR till the paramedics arrived.” Jesus. Logan””
