Gabriel took another drag of his cigarette, causing his sexy Adam's apple to move. "Don't count your chickens before they hatch."

Serenity looked at him, confused while she waited for him to continue his sentence. He disposed of his cigarette and continued, "You need an invitation to enter."

The excitement and joy she felt a moment ago suddenly disappeared after hearing his words.
