Part of Elle just wanted to go back to being dead. It had to be better than this. 2016. She'd been dead for nine years. That was crazy. She wondered how much the world had changed in that time. Something about Gabriel being there gave her a sense of hope, which was a foreign concept to her.
He was the one who had broken her, again. And so he had to be the one to fix her. She was honestly surprised he hadn't told her to go screw herself, because he'd have been well within his rights to do so. But no, Gabriel truly had changed. And if he had changed...maybe she could too.
"Nice car." She smirked when she saw him. It really was good to see him.
