Gabriel’s call has me moving from the same spot that Lilly left me. I still can’t believe that she would say that to me. When Liam was alive, she never seemed bothered that she didn’t have siblings. She never asked for one, so I’m curious where the sudden shift came from.Now I know you’re wondering
