Gabriel felt a tingle in his chest and against his will, his lips turned downwards.

Gabriel refused to accept that.

Exiting the room, he rushed down the stairs, intending to head for his car and drive to the one place he knew she would be, her parents Villa, when a shiny object on the center table caught his attention.

He walked over and picked it up, a bitter taste suddenly flooding his mouth as soon as he recognized the object.
