CHAPTER EIGHT

The next week passed in a blur for Olivia. Each day she went to work, got off at five, and then got ready to spend her evening with Gabriel. Every night they spent hours talking and doing anything from grabbing dinner, to taking walks around the city, and watching a couple of movies.

Olivia had never felt such a strong connection with anyone else. She hung on his every word, and he hung on hers. When he looked at her, he didn’t look through her or wait for his turn to talk, but he actually looked to her and listened to her. Never had anyone made her feel so valued. With each day that passed, Olivia knew she was starting to grow strong feelings for him.

She just hoped he felt the same so that she didn’t get her heartbroken again like she had been with Kent. Olivia told herself Gabriel was nothing like Kent and wouldn’t do that to her. And while they certainly were nothing alike, there was no way for her to know whether or not he would end up leaving her in the same condition Kent had.

That Saturday night, Emily was gone to spend the night with Isaac so Olivia finally asked Gabriel to come to her apartment. She was a little nervous to be with him alone, her mind immediately wondering if something sexual would come of the evening. She tried to tell herself there was no way, that they had only known each other for a little over a week. Yet she found herself cleaning her bedroom and lighting a couple of candles to make it smell like lavender. Olivia considered herself to be a fool, but at least she was always a prepared fool.

She moved back into the kitchen, making sure the wine she bought was chilling. As she began to fiddled with the stack of magazines on the island, there was a knock on the door. Her heart gave a thud and she hurried to the bathroom to check her appearance in the mirror. Olivia had gone with a blush colored blouse and black skinny jeans, her wavy strawberry hair in a French braid.

Taking a deep breath, she made her way to the door and opened it. In the door frame stood Gabriel, smiling weakly at her. His skin seemed especially drained of color, even though he was already pale, and dark circles were around his eyes.

He didn’t look well at all. “Are you okay?” she asked him softly.

“I’m fine,” he told her, walking past her.

“You don’t look fine…” she mumbled, shutting the door behind him.

His eyes darted around the apartment. It was open for the main room, with the bedrooms on adjacent sides along with the bathrooms.

“You have a nice apartment,” he said, beginning to walk around.

There was pain pinching at his features, and worry flaring through Olivia’s chest.

“I didn’t decorate, Emily did,” she mumbled, following behind him and grabbing his hand. “Gabriel, if you aren’t well, this can wait for another night…”

“Don’t be silly, Olivia.
