GIANNA
I’m not going to lie; I wanted to run. Forget cousin Colton’s game plan. Forget everything else; just take the kids and high tail it back to Alaska. The look in his eyes when he said that did not bode well for me. I was caught in the midst of too many emotions to tackle them all at once, and the funny thing is, I haven’t even had time to focus on any one thing since I opened the door to him earlier.
Things have not at all gone the way I’d imagined them in my head. I don’t know what made me think that Gabriel would be rational, maybe because the boy I left here almost three years ago had been so blissfully calm and wise, even though he had a streak of the vengeful in him. But that had never been turned against me.
