"Ethan killed the librarian, didn't he?" Gabriel questioned, interrupting the memory as they walked along the woods.
Esme had been quieter since announcing she had died, and that was how she escaped. Though he didn't know the intricacies yet, he had a heart-wrenching feeling that it was not part of a plan. Gabriel had been listening to her, but at times she'd trail off, letting her memory speak for itself. The latest was of this librarian, Benjamin, who looked like a teacher in his late twenties. He was not threatening at all, and looking through her eyes, Esme was fond of their newly found friendship.
