I glance briefly towards the street to see if the police are near. I wonder if this is a sign of how it’s going. Gabe has always been diligent about following the rules, despite his run towards the burning building mentality. And on a night like this, the wind alone could force an unsuspecting person over the edge. Chunks of it fall into the ocean all the time. The cliff is precarious enough for one person. This is against the rules – his own, and the police’s. EXCERPT: Gabe is standing much closer to the woman than he usually would. ![]()
