closed starter for @mascncollins location: rusty spur
In the few weeks Gabe had been in Briar Ridge, he had already found some great new friends. One of them sat opposite him. A chill dude named Mason Collins, someone Gabe had hit it off with instantly. It was always nice to have a friend you could have a beer with and shoot the shit without all the drama. After Halloween, it felt like everything with Benny was drama. He loved the other like he was a part of him, a vital limb he would struggle to live without. However, after kissing Leyla and the punch, things felt strained. Gabe held no resentment and knew that Benny had forgiven him, too. They had been physical many times, but it was Leyla. Gabe worried about how everything had impacted Benny and Leyla, so he tentatively kept himself scarce. Until Benny gave him the nod, he was happy to chill with Mason and forget about it all.
"There's two seconds on the clock, final quarter. You need one free throw to win the NBA finals... out of all the players ever, who are you putting up there to shoot that vital free throw?" Gabe asked, excited to see who Mason picked. Jordan was his GOAT, but you couldn't ignore Curry's stats.
