Chapter 22
Lori followed Gahnel to the nursery, where they would talk.
They ran into Grace on the way.
“You’re back Early too?
She said in a surprised tone and he shrugged.
“I actually needed the rest. Decided to close early:”
Grace nodded, her face beaming. She patted Gabriel on the back,
“That’s great” That’s very good!”
“I’ll get dinner started”
She said as she walked past them in excitement.
Gabriel made sure he sent Elliot out of the house before they both left though. He specifically told him to go and wait for him in the pool house. Lori didn’t know why he did but she didn’t think Gabriel liked his cousin very much, it was visible in how little they interacted. Especially with the way he treated him, she didn’t know if there was a specific reason he didn’t, but he just seemed not to.
They walked into the nursery, Gabriel had taken Emilia from Elliot before he went up the stairs with Lori. He had kissed her cheek and rubbed her head, he must have missed her and she must have missed him too because she started smiling at him, giving him a huge toothless grin.
“How are you doing?”
He asked as they walked into the nursery and Lori shrugged, she pretty much felt fine, since she had not allowed herself to think about what happened,
“Good. Thank you for everything L…”
“You don’t need to thank me Lori. I only did what was necessary.” Cabriel said with his back, turned to her as he patted the baby in his arms.
Lori nodded, standing awkwardly by the door frame and watching Gabriel,
Gabriel turned to the baby and set her in her crib, then slowly, he took off his jacket, dropping them on the rocking chair and rolled the sleeves of his shirt. Then he turned to Lori and glanced at the couch in front of them.
Lori went first, sitting herself at the edge of the couch unconsciously, Gabriel noticed this and sat at the other end.
“About what happened.
He raised his hands, stopping her.
“I’m not asking for another apology Lon. I am not. I’m just worried about you. That’s all.”
His voice was softer now, much more gentle. He genuinely looked concemed for her, she could see the womy etched in his features.
Lori felt safe with him somehow, in a way she had never felt safe with anybody else. His presence was
as weirdly comforting.
“I know.”
“Grace and I talked about getting you professional help. Do you think you’d be willing to speak to a therapist?”
Pently asked and Lori shook her head. A therapist?! No no. That was too much, besides she didn’t want to impos
