"I wasn't sick, Alex. Just say what you want to say. That's why you brought me here, isn't it?" Gabe raised an eyebrow, rolling his eyes away. "I still have important things to do."
"Are you still angry with me… because I'm an enigma?" Alex asked, his voice quieter now as he swallowed hard. "Tell me… what can I do to make you stop being angry with me?"

"There's nothing you can do, Alex. And it's fine… at least you decided to tell me," Gabe said aloud, exhaling slowly. "Let's just talk about something else, please."
