บท 152: Chapter 152: GABRIEL

Starks met me on the way back inside. I made sure Silla was busy helping Chantal get ready to leave so there was no danger of her overhearing anything when I took him into the office and closed the door behind us. He looked rough, like he hadn’t slept in days which I imagine he hadn’t, not to mention the fact that he’d driven for hours through the night and into the early morning.

His clothes still showed signs of the dirt and brush he’d waded through, but I doubt he even noticed. “I’m not going to ask. As long as he’s out of Silla’s life for good, we’re square.”

“He’s out of life, period.”

“Good, now what?” He sat back with a sigh and rubbed his hands roughly over his face.

“Now I pick up the pieces and try to make sense of the last twenty years. I’ve got to tell you, I’m having a hard time with the idea of letting you take my daughter away when I’ve only just found her.”
