Gabe's heart raced frantically as he searched the entire farm for Arabelle. Where could she have gone? The worry for her safety mingled with the growing anxiety that she'd returned to her former self.
He'd already every corner of the farm and every inch of the scrawling land looking for some sign of her. She'd been fine when they'd fallen asleep last night. And then, when she'd bid him goodbye to go for her daily strolls. Could she have spotted something on the way that might have triggered her?
Gabe ran a hand through his hair, his guilt eating at him. He really had done something thoughtless. Arabelle wanted a normal relationship with him and instead of being in such a relationship with her, he'd been trying to keep things platonic. And now he was left here wondering if he'd made a mistake in not being with her.
