"Denzel, you should head back to San Ravendale," Karmen said, the car coming to a smooth halt as he applied the brakes. "Gabriel is unable to focus on anything else right now, so you need to keep an eye on the company's operations in his absence."
"Sure. But what about the witch?" Denzel questioned, his brow furrowing with concern.
"Well, Carlos has returned, and Gabriel believes we should involve as few people as possible," Karmen asserted. "In his past life, he lost everyone he held dear. He's taking every precaution this time to ensure history doesn't repeat itself."
Denzel nodded slowly, understanding the weight of Gabriel's trauma. "I'll leave in the morning then. If things get sideways and you need me, just give me a call."
"I will," Karmen promised. Denzel stepped out of the car, offering a quick wave before heading toward his parents' house.
