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.

Maybe she was overthinking it. Like what she heard, maybe Gabrielle and Lance weren’t really close.

“Cherie, if you like Lance, just go for it. Maybe one day, he’ll notice you, but nothing will happen if you just keep admiring him secretly,” Gabrielle said, taking her gift bag.

Cherie watched Gabrielle leave until she disappeared through the exit. She was gone, but her words lingered in Cherie’s mind.
