'What's wrong with this guy?' Winter asked herself mentally while looking up at him.
"Do you really want me to go?" Gabriel asked her again. This time, he sounded serious and was patiently waiting for her answer.
She stood up from his bed and helped him sit instead. She didn't want to keep looking at his discomfort. She knew that he didn't like using the crutches but he did it this time.
She inhaled and exhaled a couple of times before facing him. "Gabriel, that isn't a decision that I should make for you. Your life is your own. I don't own you and I won't impose anything on you."
"Do you really want me to go?"
"Oh my god! Why are you so stubborn?!" Winter stomped her feet on the floor from frustration but Gabriel didn't waver at all.
He kept looking at her with that same serious facial expression. However, he was smiling deep inside. As the seconds went by without an answer from her, he can tell that she didn't want him to go which was why he asked her again and again.
