Michael put the tea kettle on, and then pulled down a mug to make the woman some tea.
As a man, he wasn’t sure how to help her, but he wanted to do something.
Gryphen hugged her next.
“Hey, sweetheart, we’re here,” he said.
She sniffled.
“Thank you,” she admitted. “I appreciate it,” she offered. “It’s been a day.”
Oh, they could imagine.
“Should you be home resting?” Ian asked, knowing nothing about miscarriages.
She shook her head.
“I need to be occupied. I can’t cry anymore,” she said. “I just want to forget for a little while, and this seemed like the best place to do it.”
Finn stood by her, and he had his arm protectively around her body.
“We’ll be okay,” he said. “There’s always the next time,” he added.
Gabby hoped he was right.
That was what she was banking on.
“Besides,” she said, as Michael made her a cup of tea, “I couldn’t miss a psychic coming here. Is she doing a séance or what?”
Gryphen filled them in.
If Gabby needed this, then they’d change the subject and keep her mind occupied.
“She said that she’s not an advocate of séances and Ouija boards, but she wants to walk the castle. We’ll see what she feels when she’s here, and if she’s legit. I’m a skeptic, but who knows? I didn’t think ghosts were a thing, and I’ve seen Ceit myself, so…”
That was a good point.
Michael handed Gabby a cup of tea, and then kissed her on the top of her head.
“You got this, honey. We’re here with you to make sure you’re okay.”
She held his hand and gave it a squeeze.
“Thank you, Michael.”
The five men escorted her to the island, and Gryphen pulled out a chair for her.
She sat, and they surrounded her to distract her.
“This psychic should be interesting,” Ian said. “I can’t wait to see what she feels here. She said she needs to get the vibe on the curse to see if it’s removable by her.”
Michael was to the point.
“Are we sure she’s legit?” he asked. “Because I’m going to err on the side of bullshit more times than not when someone says psychic.”
Normally, they’d agree.
“She seemed pretty astute. Sarah was nothing but nice,” she said.
