Gaze Quote by Vivienne Savage
““Ramsay held out his hand to her, and when she took it, drew her down beside him. “We’re safe now,” he whispered against her hair. “Sleep. Everything will be better after some sleep.” Reassured by the confidence in his words and the comfort of his arms around her, Victoria closed her eyes.””
