When: March 12, 2026.
Where: Hotel in Cali.
Time: 11:30 PM.
Gabe walked through the hotel hallways, by this time of night, it was pretty empty and mostly quiet. He had his black hoodie on, the hood over his head, some basketball shorts, and his Nike socks with some slides. Dani was a friend of his that he had worked with for a while in AEW and enjoyed being around. She was funny, sweet, and of course very beautiful, the one person Gabe was pretty sweet on, he found her to be charming and adorable in a lot of ways. That's why it was a no brainer when she invited him over to her hotel room to hang out, watch a movie, and Doordash some food.
Gabe had two versions of himself to most people, and it depended on his mood most of the time the version you got -- he was either the funny, loving, carefree guy or the angry, passive-aggressive guy who stayed to himself and didn't talk to many people outside of his small inner circle. That's why it even surprised himself that he found Dani to be so enduring and charming, he was never someone who put himself out there to make new friends or talk to new people. If he was out at a bar, drinking, partying, sure, he'd meet new people and chat it up but it was very surface level - he knew he'd never see any of them again, so why did it really matter?
His inner circle of friends was so small he could count it on one hand, whether that was his own fault or the fact that he was selective was up for debate. Gabe wouldn't describe himself as difficult but if he was being honest, he had a lot of issues, dark ones that he wasn't willing to look too much into detail over. The fact of the matter was simply that he was a fucked up individual and no matter how hard he tried, he'd probably always be such. But maybe with Dani, he could pretend otherwise, as long as she didn't see through the cracks in his defense. Once he reached Dani's hotel room, he brought his fist up and knocked on the door waiting for her to open up.
