Gaze Quote by Veronica Rossi
““Well, I’ve been at Cambridge,” Jode says. “Jode’s also been with Anna,” Marcus adds with a mischievous smile. Gideon shakes his head. “A little respect?” I’m glad to see them teasing each other. I was worried about the fallout from the haunting, but with Sebastian back, everyone’s happy. United. Bas’s eyes go wide, turning from Jode to Gideon. “Wait, wait, wait. Your sister? That Anna?” “Yes, that Anna,” Jode says. “And I truly don’t see why it’s such an issue for you, Gideon. It’s not as though I’ve shared the details about—” “One more word, Jode. Seriously, man. One more.” Jode laughs. “Anyhow.” He gestures between Gideon and me. “I think we’re looking past the obvious here.” Bas breaks into a huge grin. “You two? The two of you? That’s awesome!” “I broke down her defenses,” Gideon says matter-of-factly. “He didn’t,” I say. “My defenses are perfectly secure. We’re conducting friendly negotiations.” “Our negotiations are a lot more than friendly.” “On occasion.” “Such passion,” Jode says. “It’s electrifying.””
