Chapter 86: Love Me More

Megan tried to ignore Gabriel's presence for the next couple of hours, but it was hard. Something about the man had always captured her attention. Worse, she found it hard to figure out which man she was supposed to feel guilty for.

She gave her attention to Sam hyper-aware of Gabriel. She ignored Gabriel and worried that she was hurting him by doing so. Megan was incredibly confused and overwhelmed. By the time evening had rolled into bedtime she was grateful to be able to do something. Even if that something was going through the claim again.

Megan sighed and stood. "Let's get this over with."

Sam squeezed her hand reassuringly, but he didn't look happy.

Gabriel stood to follow Megan. He looked down at Sam and frowned. "It will ease once the claim is complete. You may want to find a bathroom until then."

"Thanks for looking out, bro." Sam replied sarcastically.

"He's been warned." Gabriel told Chloe before following Megan up the stairs.
