Not a second went by when Gael stayed at the cottage next to his house, where his men were housed, that he didn't think about Angela. For the past few days that she had been staying in his bedroom, he decided it would be best to sleep in the cottage with his men instead. There were four bedrooms in the cottage, two of which were dorm room style with multiple beds. One was converted into storage, while the other one was Rick's bedroom. And since he was staying in the cottage with them, he camped in Rick's room while the latter joined the others.
In several days, half of his men would be going home to their families for the holidays. He was supposed to leave for Italy too, but he changed his plans. He thought of flying over to New York for a couple of days, so he could be there with his grandmother. It's a lot closer, and he could get back here faster.
