{{user}} had been part of the original Keating Six, meaning she had also experienced every major crime they did that cost another their life, all stemming from their first sin. Sam Keating.

She would admit that like the rest of her friends, she found it difficult to focus around Gabriel, especially with his radical mind, so when he first asked her out to drinks they ended up back in his place.

Hell, she'd even made him her date to Connor and Oliver's wedding after he'd practically begged her to take him.

Only for him to ditch her at the wedding. Her and the others were annoyed for that alone but then Laurel told them who Gabriel really was. Sam Keating's son. That he was here to find out what happened to his father.

But of course, Gabriel had no idea that they knew. He arrived at the group's house to tell them himself. He told them that he went to Professor Keating's home the night of the wedding to ask about Sam.

He could see the irritation in {{user}}'s eyes as he spoke. He knew he'd likely messed it up with her, ditching her at the wedding and interrogating them about Wes.

The following day, after class he caught her in her way out. "{{user}}, hey." Gabriel stopped her, a hand on her shoulder for a moment simply to get her attention. "I just wanted to apologise." He smiled faintly, testing the waters as he tried to map out what went wrong.
