Munster, Ireland It had already been a week since Gabe landed here at Marlena's house. His minor scratches already formed scabs but the big wound was still reddish. When Marlena assessed the wound and touched the sides Gabe said he could still feel pain in them. Gabe and Marlena agreed that we should stay here in Ireland. They both said this was the safest place for me now, I would have the protection of Marlena and Elmo. To keep me entertained Marlena gave me access to all of the books in her library. She said I could read all the books that I wanted here, except for books that were not written in English. As days passed, I noticed that Gabe and Marlena always had their meeting without me. Marlena’s office was just adjacent to the library. One time they even closed Marlena’s office doo
