It was after he'd been patrolling town when he decided to pass by the presbytery to get his basket back. It had been a little time and he had no intention of being there long. Just pop over, grab the basket and go.
He stood at the door and held up his hand to knock but then froze. He'd only seen Gabriel once since returning and the memories of him collapsing were fresh in his mind. He still prayed daily for his swift recovery and guilt gnawed on him for dropping the man.
He rubbed his face and laughed weakly to himself. The poor man was still in recovery, so it would be Father Brennan, or Mrs. Higgins who would answer. Or perhaps that strange man, Francis, would be playing the role of butler. Either way, he took a breath to calm himself and knocked.
