Epilogue – Date
Gabriel smiled.
Krysta and Kevin were sat in a diner. Krysta was chatting animatedly while Kevin smiled and laughed in response to what she was saying. Krysta was positively beaming.
A date. Krysta was on a date. And she looked happier than Gabriel had seen her in years.
Sure she may have felt alone at times, but Gabriel had always kept an eye on her. She was his favorite niece, after all.
And at the moment, Gabriel wanted nothing more than to go in there and tell her he was there—you know, in case she needed someone to kick the living crap out of Kevin if he hurt her. Not that Krysta would need help in that case, but it was the thought that counts.
He smiled once more and slipped into the shadows, unseen. Then, with a snap of his fingers, he was gone without a trace.
