Chapter 55

• Gabrielle POV.
• Stepping into the house I'd swore I would put my foot in only when I took over made me feel like a failure but I was not going to be so easily defeated, especially now that I might have nothing left. My head hurt, as I thought back to the bridge, I might have miscalculated the angle of the shot as I aimed for Blake, and maybe April couldn't save him, maybe she hadn't even been able to find his body.
• My heart constricted, the realization that Blake might really be gone from my life hitting me hard until it felt like I would collapse but I forged on, forcing my legs to move even tho all I wanted to do was collapse against the floor and just cry but hope kept me going. Blake was tough, and I hadn't permitted him to die yet, so he couldn't leave me. No! He wasn't ever allowed to leave me. Once I confirmed that he was still alive then I'll start executing my plans.
