Gabriel and Isabella made their way to their neighbor Mylo's cottage, anticipation humming beneath their skin. As Kat opened the door, her warm smile welcomed them inside, dissipating any lingering nerves.
"Isabella, Gabriel! Come in, come in," she ushered them inside, the warmth of the hearth battling the chill of the approaching evening. Pleasantries were exchanged.
This meeting marked the first encounter between Isabella and Kat, their conversation flowing easily as they exchanged pleasantries.
"I'm sorry for the way I spoke to you last night, Gabriel. I was way out of line," Kat expressed, her face marked with remorse.
"No need to apologize, Kat. If anything, I should be the one asking for forgiveness. I promise I'll never put your children in harm's way ever again," Gabriel replied earnestly.
Observing the exchange, Isabella nudged Gabriel, eager to know the details of the previous night's confrontation. "What happened?" she inquired.
