"It's obvious. Leonica refused to give you answers, didn't she? You wouldn't be here if she had. So, ask away, I'll tell you anything you want to know."

When Gabriel looked like he was clearly hesitating, she added. "It's the best form of repentance I can give, isn't it?"

1 Really Want To Kiss You

Gabriel watched as the smoke sizzles in the air, soon disappearing with the winds of approaching summer. His eyes stared ahead, looking aimlessly at the scenery in front of him as he tried to sort out his thoughts.

It had been more than two hours since his talk with Angelina had ended and he left Oslo's female prison and might he tells you, all the shit she told him, the shit he had done, did more harm than good.

With a sigh, he brought the cigarette stick to his lips, and took another puff, watching the smoke rise up into the air.

"You know, that's going to kill you." He turned his head at the sound of an unfamiliar voice, raising a brow at the brunette who stood a few feet away from him.

"And you care, why?" He asked, not really in any mood to entertain sympathy from a stranger.

"Oh, I don't." The female shrugged. "But," She pointed towards the scenery of a tulips and daffodils garden. "Those little guys, my little

Buys. don't deserve to die due to the bad habits of grown men?"

Gabriel frowned, and looked in the direction she was pointing. For a moment, he could only stare, wondering what the hell she was on about

"The flowers?" He asked.

"Yes. I own that garden and that death stick of yours is gonna kill it off if you keep smoking so close to my flowers. So, put that shit out or go else where." She said and walked past.

Gabriel watched her for a few seconds before sighing and dropping the cigarette to the floor, putting it off with the heel of his boots. She was right, the thought crossed his mind, accompanied by another shortly after. And Christian would kill me if he knows I still smoke

"Why did I think that?' He questioned his previous thought, knowing that even though Christian was against the idea of him smoking, which only happened rarely when he's extremely stressed, the older male never really voiced it out.

Gabriel wasn't sure if his brain was playing tricks on him or if his memory was starting to come back

But as much as he didn't want to get his hopes up, the idea of getting his memories back wasn't a bad one

With the cigarette successfully put out, Gabriel took one last look in the garden's direction before turning to enter his car, however, just as he pulled on the bandle, a familiar wave of pain washed over his body.

This time, it wasn't like the ones he had before, it was a stronger, and much more intense.

It was the worst headache he had ever experienced, and it made his head feel like a hammer was hitting him from the inside out.

"Hey, are you okay?" In a second, the brunette was suddenly beside him. When he failed to answer and continued to groan in pain, she concluded. "I think we need to get you to the hospital."

Gabriel didn't respond, but rather, he tried to hold himself together.

She fumbled around his pocket, finding the keys to his car, which she admire hortly after she was seated in the driver's seat and he In the passengers.

Thankfully, the hospital wasn't too far away from her personal outdoor garden and it so happened to be the city's central hospital. They arrived in minutes and as soon as one of the nurses identified Gabriel, they quickly called on Doctor Bailey's attention. By this time Gabriel was feeling better, able to walk on his own, but nonetheless, figured it was a good idea to check the process of his

recovery.

"Mr. Bryce," The old doctor greeted, taking his glasses off and tucking them in the breast pocket of his white coat. "What brings you here, is there something wrong?"

Gabriel who was seated alone in his office at that time, took the liberty to explain his week to the doctor, so far.

By the end of the explanation, Doctor Bailey carried out a few examinations and nodded his head.
