“It’s obvious. Leonica refused to give you answers, didn’t she? You wouldn’t be here if she had. So, ask away, I’ll tell you anything you want to know.” 

When Gabriel looked like he was clearly hesitating, she added. It’s the best form of repentance I can give, isn’t it?” 

1 Really Want To Kiss You 

Gabriel watched as the smoke sizzles in the air, soon disappearing with the winds of approaching summer. His eyes stared ahead, looking aimlessly at the scenery in front of him as he tried to sort out his thoughts

It had been more than two hours since his talk with Angelina had ended and he left Oslo’s female prison and might he tells you, all the shit she told him, the shit he had done, did more harm than good

With a sigh, he brought the cigarette stick to his lips, and took another puff, watching the smoke rise up into the air

You know, that’s going to kill you.He turned his head at the sound of an unfamiliar voice, raising a brow at the brunette who stood a few feet away from him

And you care, why?He asked, not really in any mood to entertain sympathy from a stranger

Oh, I don’t.The female shrugged. But,She pointed towards the scenery of a tulips and daffodils garden. Those little guys, my little 

Buys. don’t deserve to die due to the bad habits of grown men?” 

Gabriel frowned, and looked in the direction she was pointing. For a moment, he could only stare, wondering what the hell she was on 

about 

The flowers?He asked

Yes. I own that garden and that death stick of yours is gonna kill it off if you keep smoking so close to my flowers. So, put that shit out or go else where.She said and walked past

Gabriel watched her for a few seconds before sighing and dropping the cigarette to the floor, putting it off with the heel of his boots. She was right, the thought crossed his mind, accompanied by another shortly after. And Christian would kill me if he knows I still 

smoke 

Why did I think that?He questioned his previous thought, knowing that even though Christian was against the idea of him smoking, which only happened rarely when he’s extremely stressed, the older male never really voiced it out

Gabriel wasn’t sure if his brain was playing tricks on him or if his memory was starting to come back 

But as much as he didn’t want to get his hopes up, the idea of getting his memories back wasn’t a bad one 

With the cigarette successfully put out, Gabriel took one last look in the garden’s direction before turning to enter his car, however, just as he pulled on the bandle, a familiar wave of pain washed over his body

This time, it wasn’t like the ones he had before, it was a stronger, and much more intense

It was the worst headache he had ever experienced, and it made his head feel like a hammer was hitting him from the inside out

Hey, are you okay?In a second, the brunette was suddenly beside him. When he failed to answer and continued to groan in pain, she concluded. I think we need to get you to the hospital.” 

Gabriel didn’t respond, but rather, he tried to hold himself together

She fumbled around his pocket, finding the keys to his car, which she admire hortly after she was seated in the driver’s seat and he In the passengers

Thankfully, the hospital wasn’t too far away from her personal outdoor garden and it so happened to be the city’s central hospital. They arrived in minutes and as soon as one of the nurses identified Gabriel, they quickly called on Doctor Bailey’s attention

By this time Gabriel was feeling better, able to walk on his own, but nonetheless, figured it was a good idea to check the process of his 

recovery

Mr. Bryce,The old doctor greeted, taking his glasses off and tucking them in the breast pocket of his white coat. What brings you here, is there something wrong?” 

Gabriel who was seated alone in his office at that time, took the liberty to explain his week to the doctor, so far

By the end of the explanation, Doctor Bailey carried out a few examinations and nodded his head

This is good news,He said. What you are experiencing is called Episodic Memory Flash, which means your brain is trying to regain your lost memories, but due to the damage it had suttered, the process is a bit slow

Does that mean I’ll get my memories back sooner?” 

I can’t be certain. But it your memory flashes have been occurring frequently, it’s safe to say that recovery is just around the corner

” 

Doctor Dalley flashed him a smile

Alright.Gabriel nodded and stood up

Doctor Bailey watched as he was about to leave when suddenly asked. Oh, Have you and Ms. Romero concluded on the conceiving method, yet

Gabriel looked over his shoulder, gaze confused. The what?” 

With that question Doctor Bailey’s mouth formed an oshape, realizing that Leonica was yet to tell him of this. But the damage was already done and he didn’t intend on hiding anything from Gabriel

Ashley didn’t slow down, even for a second, and Leonica could only sigh, giving up on her attempt

Mommy!She looked up, spotting Ashley with a box of chocolates. Do we have marshmallows?I don’t think so.She answered, smiling at her son. But we have cooldes, and you love those.” Ashley pouted, clearly disappointed, he was about to speak when Leonica’s phone rang Hey, Owen, what’s up?she asked after the device had been placed by her near

Well, it’s only right.He responded, his smile obvious in his tone. The line was silent for a few seconds before he asked. So, about what we talked about earlier today” 

The rest of his words were drowned out by the sound of Ashley zooming into the kitchen to pick up yet another sort of snack, and he repeated yelled I want marshmallowswhile doing so

With a sigh, Leonica nodded her head even though he couldn’t see her. We’re having a movie night. Grace suggested it.She explained

Anyways,She dragged out, her smile slowly fading What were you about to say before that little devil interrupted.” 

Ah, well, I wanted to know if-” 

Mommy the tent can’t be completed without the marshmallows.Ashley announced, appearing by her side with his hands on his 

Waist 

Leonica’s expression softened. But we don’t have that now, sweetie.”

Leonica opened her mouth, about to speak, when Owen Cut her off. How about I bring the marshmallows over?” 

His question completely caught her off guard. What?”

When the call ended, Ashley tugged at her sleeves, forcing her to look down at him

Who was that? Owen? Is he coming?” 

Leonica nodded 

Ashley’s eyes lighted up like a bulb. Really? He’s coming?” 

Mm bm 

Oh, oh, we gotta make him a pillow, a very fluffy one!Ashley Saks and rushed off

As promised, Owen didn’t take long and soon enough, the bell rang, and Ashley was rushing towards the door

He pulled the knob open, revealing Owen who was dressed in a dark blue boodie and black sweatpants, black mask and face cap, and a plastic bag in his hand

Owen!Ashley yelled and flung himself into his arms, almost knocking him down

Owen hugged him back, laughing. Hey Ash. It’s been a while, hasn’t it?” He said and raised the bag 

Ashley cheered, snatching the marshmallow and running back into the living room, not forgetting to thank him in the process

Owen laughed, walking inside and closing the door behind him. He took off his mask, pulling his face cap off and running a hand through his hair

Yeah? And what are we watching?” 

Leading him into the backyard, She looked over her shoulder and offered the idol a smile full of mischief. That’s a secret.A secret, huh?” 

Yeah, but I’ll give you a clue. It’s a movie about clowns and res balloons

Owen eyes narrowed at her words, and by the time he had pinned down the exact movie she was talking about, they were already seated in the tent, Ashley in the middle and them both on each side of him

What type of an adult makes a kid watch a scary movie?shaking his head, Owen stepped out of the tent, following Leonica as she went to retrieve another bowl of pop com

I didn’t make him watch it, Ashley picked that by himself.She defended
