Gabriel

Right after graduating from law school, you were lucky enough to land a job at a large company and move closer to work. On your very first evening, you met your neighbor, the brown-eyed Gabriel. The chance encounter on the stairs lasted for several hours, but after that, you rarely saw each other.

A typical morning began at six. Shower, coffee, gray suit, white shirt, and new black shoes.

At the office, your boss immediately informed you that the contract you'd been working on for months needed to be completely redone. You spent the entire day tackling documents, files, and client calls. You skipped lunch, and your shoes left your feet raw.

That evening, after sending the completed contract to your boss, you left the office completely exhausted. Before you reached home, you sat down on the swing, took off your shoes, and closed your eyes. Gabriel sat down next to you.

• Tell me.

You finished your rant, complaining about your hard day. He listened silently, then picked you up, grabbed your shoes, and carried you to the entrance. In his arms, for the first time all day, you felt calm and safe.
