Chapter 119

“I’m home.”

Gabriel said as he walked into the living room.

The feeling in the penthouse was different. Without the staff, it felt more homey, more relaxing.

Lori was in the kitchen washing some bottles. She was in an oversized T-shirt and some leggings. At some point, Gabriel had agreed that was all she had in

her closet.

“Hey!”

She called out as she waved towards him.

“How are you?”

She asked as she started washing her hands.

Gabriel walked up to her and hugged her from behind, burying his face in the crook of her neck, generously sniffing her in. She smelled like baby powder.

“Good. You?”

He asked, still holding on to her and Lori nodded. She was practically beaming.

“Me too.”

She said as she blushed furiously.

He broke away slowly to turn her around to face him. Her hair was in a ponytail and part of her face had baby powder on it.

“You have baby powder on your face.”

He said as he gently wiped them away with his fingers.

Lori rolled her eyes.

‘Yea… I just changed Emilia and put her down for her nap.”

He nodded.

Okay. That’s good.”

He said as he hugged her again.

Lori hugged him back carefully, her hands were wet and soapy and she didn’t want to stain his suit.

“Go get changed. Grace made us some spaghetti.”

She said and Gabriel raised his eyebrow.

“She did?”

He asked and Lori nodded.

“Oh.’

He didn’t seem too excited about that. Weird. She thought that he would since they had been surviving on junk food for the last few days.

“I thought you’d be more excited…”

She said and Gabriel shrugged.

‘Oh I am but I just planned for us to have a dinner date tonight.”

Lori’s eyes shot up to him.

“A date?!”

She asked and he nodded.

“Yes… I was about to make a reservation…”

Lori chuckled.

“Who would watch Emilia if we go on a date?”

She asked and Gabriel pointed to the door.

Elliot should be able to do that… or we could call Grace…”

Lori shook her head.

“Maybe another time.”

‘Is that okay with you?”

She asked and he nodded.

But he still looked unconvinced. Like there was something else on his mind.

‘What’s wrong?”

She asked and he walked to the living room and collapsed on the sofa.

Lori followed him.

Gabriel stared at the window. It was getting late and the sun was setting. The sky was a pretty orange. He forgot how much he loved the view from his penthouse. The sunsets were amazing but the starry night sky was even better.

‘Nothing… I just feel like so much has been happening and we barely have had enough time for each other.”

He answered.

Well. That was true.
