Gabe: Patience versus Sanity

Patience wasn’t Gabe’s strong suit. Three months had exhausted what little he had left. He waited for his sister’s return, pacing his Madison Avenue office in the penthouse of their flagship hotel, staring out the wall of glass, as if he could see her petite form rushing up the street.

By the time Lucy let herself in—without knocking, Starbucks in hand—he was ready to throttle her. “Well?”

His sister settled into the chair across from his desk and propped her feet up on the polished wood. “I like her. She’s feisty. And not too skinny. Oh, and she’s not a bitch.”

“Not what I meant, and you know it.”

Lucy grinned. “She’ll be there. I phrased it as a challenge. There’s no way she won’t rise to the occasion.”

“If she’s not—”

“Then you’ll go after her like you should have done from the beginning,” his sister said, a smug look on her face.

Gabe shook his head. “If I’d done that, she wouldn’t trust me now.”

“When she finds out you’ve kept tabs on her all this time, you think she’ll trust you?”

He shrugged, but his skin felt too tight at the thought. “She’ll understand,” Gabe said.

She had to because he wasn’t giving her up again.
