Chapter 8: This Isn't Your Fight Kid
Lucy POV
Lucy stood at the counter at her place of work thinking of the hike earlier in the morning while wiping up crumbs from the donuts and bagels that had been bought by customers. She couldn't stop pondering about the odd situation with Gabriel wincing in pain after she had touched him.
Was he allergic to her? Was it her body wash? She had been wracking her brain ever since they said goodbye after he dropped her off.
He had been bandaging her leg after she fell and scraped up her leg. As she went to touch his arm, her silver bracelet had moved down and had barely touched him before he had pulled away from her as if in pain. She distinctly heard him breathe quickly as if he burned himself. He seemed to dismiss the situation and moved on from it by saying they both needed to get back in time for work.
