"Won't you give me a hug?" Gabriel inquired of Cynthia, looking deeply into her violet eyes. He closed the gap between them and hugged the Moon Goddess tightly. "Your blessings are going to pave a path for me."
He pulled away slowly and finally lifted the glass of water. Finishing the water in a single draught, he set the glass down. "I'll be leaving now since I've received the answers I came for."
Cynthia nodded. She wished Gabriel would stay, even just for a day, but she knew he wouldn't agree. Besides, he had his own urgent duties to fulfill now.
As he walked toward the door, Cynthia remained right behind him when he suddenly halted.
"I have one more question to ask," Gabriel said, turning back to face her.
"Hmm. Say it," Cynthia said with a gentle smile.
