Lost

"But we can't let that happen." Autumn blinked back her tears and stood up, ready to run away with Arabelle but Gabe caught her and hugged her slightly," We won't let that happen, Autumn. It is a request from the judge, not an order. We can still go through the motions and not budge from our stance. 

Firmly holding her hand, he guided her towards the judge's chambers where they would be going for th enext part of the discussion.

As they walked, Autumn asked slowly,"Gabe, we need to warn the woman, also."

"What woman?"

"The woman he is engaged to! Didn't you hear that? The women he is engaged with... she has two little girls! That means they are in danger."

"Autumn, calm down! We won't let anything happen."

Autumn took a deep breath, trying to steady herself. "I can't believe this is happening. I feel like we're losing."

"We're not losing," Gabe said firmly. "Gregory's just putting on a show. And we are going to handle it."
