"You've talked to her. The lady that you were talking to about pie. She and I have been friends for awhile yet," Gabriel said as he settled a hand on Noah's hair, ruffling it lightly as there was a knock on the door. "And that's probably her right now," He said, smiling as he held the door to his room open for Noah before crossing the main area of the apartment and opening the outside door, greeting Elle with a broad grin and stepping aside so that she could come in before reaching out and taking one of the pies off her hands.
"Weighed yourself down a bit, didn't you?" Gabriel asked, a bit of a teasing lilt in his voice before glancing over at Noah. "Noah, this is Elle. Elle, Noah."
