Her heart ached at Lucian's condition, and she found herself lost in his beautiful parted lips.
==========================
It was the right thing to do, especially considering the potential consequences of her actions!
But she hesitated, wondering if Gabriel was currently busy with his duties as the mayor.
She decided to wait a bit, reasoning that she would reach out to him later when he might have more time to talk.
Liz's hands trembled as she considered her options, torn between her desire to fix the situation and her apprehension about Gabriel's reaction.
Liz decided that her immediate focus should be on Lucian's recovery. She would address her encounter with Gabriel directly after she was sure Lucian was on the path to improvement.
She knew that the situation was complicated and might lead to a difficult conversation, but for now, her priority was to ensure Lucian's well-being.
