Chapter 65: Don't think we do

"Do we know each other?" Maya didn't recognize Gabriel, but the way he was looking at her, why would a stranger look at her like that? It was as if she had offended him somehow. 

"I don't think we do," Gabriel responded. He controlled his conflicted feelings, remembering what he was here for. There were more important things than Maya. 

"Then why were you looking at me like that?" Maya frowned. 

"I wasn't looking at you. I was looking behind you... I apologize if I gave you the wrong impression." Gabriel made a story before turning his back on Maya. 

Maya couldn't believe that story. She was sure she would've realized it if Gabriel was looking past her.  

Unfortunately, before she could ask more questions, Riya came back, realizing that Gabriel hadn't been following her. 

"What happened? You know we can't afford to stop." She grabbed Gabriel's hands and took her with him. "I don't have all the time in the world to show you around. We need to finish today."
