Gabrielle climbed out the window, a last ditch attempt to find Edge. She just had a hunch. And there he was, sitting on the highest part of the roof. She carefully pulled herself up to where he sat, silent and still, eyes focused elsewhere.

"Beats me. Wear black. It looks good on you. And that’s all I’ll say."
