Gibsie’s eyes flicked to Mark before focusing on Claire. “Are you okay?” “Of course,” she replied happily, throwing her arms around him. “I missed you, Gerard.” “I missed you, too,” he replied, attention shifting from his stepbrother to Claire. “Your mam’s outside talking to Catherine,” he added, turning them around so that he was the one with his back to the couch. “I wanted to come with her to make sure you were okay.” He shrugged. “You’re sure you’re okay?”
He probably was afraid Mark did something to her😭
