Chapter 25. Something with Fire

Noelle’s POV

Holly rages towards him, “Don’t be ridiculous Gabriel. You are exhausted and there are much more important things to do.”

Second of all Noelle has been through a lot, and she is probably hurt and scared. So, if showing her what makes those sounds helps her feel safe then I will do that.”

Holly storms out of the room, “Fine, you better be here tomorrow morning.”

Gabriel sighs and takes out his wings, “We have to fly there. Can I pick you up?”
