Gabe reclined in the large armchair with his eyes closed. His bag had already been placed on the side and a glass of wine sat on the small tray table next to him. Even though the man had seemingly lost weight, at the moment he exuded an air of peace as he waited for the others to settle.
Ian on the other hand, sat opposite Gabe with a travel magazine in his hand. Him and Gabe had been the first to reach and so they had no option but to wait for the younger and noisier ones. Since he had taken an official vacation, he was dressed casually in jeans and a comfortable T-shirt and poring over the magazine. Tomorrow, they were going to surprise Nora for her birthday but later, he would escape and explore the place.
