Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

When seeing her in such a dazed state, Gilbert's gaze darkened as he stared at her for seconds. "Do you know who I am?"

Could it be that she mistook him for Yates and smiled at him? Right, it was also Yates who brought her back. With that thought, his handsome face clouded over even more.
