Lock You In My Heart

Lance had been helping Gabrielle with matters regarding Bryce, but she hadn’t paid him much attention. She had gotten her hands tied up with her own issues, so she didn’t have time to think about anything else.

“I’m sorry, Cherie. I haven’t seen Lance recently. We’re not as close as you think, so I have no idea what he’s up to,” Gabrielle answered truthfully.
