    ... four-year-old boy. He sat in his usual spot, playing with blocks and humming to himself. His blond hair was overly long and he always had on some band t-shirt and jeans. Today, to mock her, he wore a Diavolo t-shirt paired with red chucks. “So, spill. You’ve got everyone buzzing.” Abigail turned to look down at Pia. She was about four-foot ten with short spiky purple hair and big blue eyes behind her glasses. Pia was the first person to welcome her to the daycare and Abigail had taken an instant liking to her despite her quirky personality. “Well, my boyfriend and I had a bit of a disagreement yesterday,” Abigail replied with a sigh. Pia grinned, turning to admire the flowers. “And he sent flowers. How romantic. You guys been together long?” Abigail frowned, letting her gaze go to the flowers visible through the glass door in the manager’s office. “Not really.” Pia pulled her hands behind her back and cocked her head to the side. “Well, honey, those roses must’ve cost him a fortune. Unless he’s filthy rich, he must really be sorry, whatever he did.” Bonnie’s words echoed in her memory though. Was Gabriel trying to soothe his guilt? Was his guilt only about having yelled at her in front of the band? Or was he feeling guilty about something else as well?

Abigail walked quickly over to him, a hesitant smile on her lips. “Hi,” she said. He smiled warmly at her. “Hello. I was walking by and saw you reading to the children. So this is where you work?” Abigail nodded with a smile. His brown eyes glittered warmly. “I was on my way to lunch. Would you like to join me?” “Oh, I really can’t—“ “Go ahead,” Pia interrupted. “Her highness owes you a break anyway.” Abigail bit her lower lip and glanced at Bonnie. She had taken over Bonnie’s reading session. “I’ll cover for you,” Pia insisted, her eyes dancing as she practically devoured Daniel’s tall form with her eyes. Daniel, in turn, ignored her completely, his eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled down at Abigail. She felt nervous going to lunch with Daniel. Gabriel would have a cow if he knew. Then again, he’d gone to a party the night before and hadn’t even told her anything aside from the calls and apologies for yelling at her. “Just let me grab my purse,” Abby said turning.
