Chapter 161: GABRIEL

It was dark out when I lifted her from the bed and got her dressed to leave. I’m not sure why I chose this hour, but I was caught in an absurd place between not wanting to make this trip and wanting to get it over with. “Come on, baby, you gotta wake up for me.” She’s a grumpy little thing when woken up before her time.

I was hoping she’d had enough sleep even though I’d kept her up most of the night. I’m not ashamed to say that I’d spent the night buried deep inside her to escape my thoughts about the upcoming job. I was also battling my conscience because I was basically about to take her into danger without her knowing.
