âSeriously. Iâll be in soon.â
She hesitated. Caleb gave her a small, reassuring smile and a wink.
âIâve got him, promise.â Simple, and certain. Natalie nodded.
âOkay,â she said softly. âDonât take too long. Youâre missing Henryâs running commentary.â
âTragic.â Gabe groaned.
She turned to head back into the theater-but paused, glancing over her shoulder one last time.
Caleb had shifted to sit beside Gabe now, their shoulders touching. Gabe leaned into him, eyes closed for a second, breathing even.
Caleb didnât say anything. Just stayed, placing a kiss in Gabeâs hair. And Natalie smiled to herself before slipping back inside.
Because for the first time in a long time.. She wasnât worried about her brother. He was loved and he was taken care of.
Just âŚnot by her this time. And she was relieved she felt completely at ease with this turn of events. The ability to trust someone outside of their family to care for Gabe, just as well as the did.

Sneak peak at my now completed Gabe lives fic! Takes place after my next to normal rewrite. Iâd be honored if you gave both a read đ
Summary: Gabe is in the hospital.. again. Fairly minor reasons this time- just a little imbalance. Itâs lonely once his family leaves, visiting hour over.. until he meets a new student doctor.
Slow burn, natural growth into a relationship for our Gabe. Very Gabe-centric. Featuring: painful flare ups, meet the family, double dates and.. a ring ;)
