Aila stopped watching Gabriel's back as he still faced out the window; her gaze slowly drifted to the coffee table in front of her as she processed everything the vampire told them.

He did mention how he watched Gabriel over the years, so perhaps tonight was long awaited with a dramatic effect of throwing her straight into the middle of it.
