Gabrielle was sitting on the couch, playing with a DS. She wasn't really paying attention to the game though, judging by the amount of times her little sprite wandered over a cliff and plummeted to it's doom.
Finally she closed the DS and switched it off, tossing it on the table. She bit her lip, jogging her knee as she thought.

"You alright?" she asked, turning her head to look at him. She pulled a blanket out from under her (they're comfy to sit on) and draped it over him. "Looks like you had a bad day."

"Well, sorry to hear that." Gabrielle said as she patted his head then moved her shoulder away, pushing him back against the couch gently as she could.

Harken looked a bit confused at her pushing him away but didnt think much of it so he just set his head back on the couch closing his eyes

She looked down at her hands, watching as she knitted and twisted her fingers together until the knuckles were white then took a deep breath, looked at him and said, "Look, Harken. We need to talk."

"About... Well... Us, I suppose. Look, I don't want to sound callous or anything but I can't do this right now. The whole engagement thing. It just went so fast and everything."

"I'm sorry, but..." she took the ring off her finger and put it into his palm, pressing his fingers closed over it. "You can have this back for now."

"Wait," she got up and went over to him, putting a hand on his shoulder, " I mean, you can still live here and everything. Just not sleeping in my room and everything... I'm not kicking you out. Erin'll probably let you share her room. Or even Destiny. And I'm not saying I don't love you. I do. I just need thinking time."

Gabrielle watched him go then closed the door and went back to the couch. She sat there miserably then picked up the blanket, wrapped it around herself and snuggled up on the couch, waiting to fall asleep.

Erin passed him in the hallway, noticing the general feel of sadness off him but not commenting. She went into the apartment, seeing Gabrielle on the couch.
"Uh, is there something I'm missing here?"
Gabrielle turned her head then shook it. "No. Nothing."
"You sure? Because his face didn't look like it was nothing."
"We're just... Taking a break."
"A break? Oh honey, I'd turn over that couch on your head if I didn't want to not break it."

Destiny was faffing about Harken's car. Even if she wasn't there this meddling would have been evident by the fact that several plushie toys and sticky USA flags has spawned in it and were now huddling on the dashboard or stuck to the steering wheel.
Gabrielle gave Erin a surprised look, "What did I do?"
"Oh, just been yourself, sweetie. I thought I'd beaten that behaviour out of you years ago." Erin folded her arms and gave Gabrielle a stern look, "So, mind if I ask what your logic was?"
"Just... I just needed a break. Erin, you know I've never done this before. I mean, this hwoel thing..."
"Then reading a dating book."
"It's not like that. But it's all new and I've never felt anything near it before and I don't know how to handle it with him around. And I don't want to make another mistake. I always make mistakes and I always get hurt and I just don't want that. Okay? Geez. I want to try make it work right so I'm doing to do it different for once. And if it fails... Well, either way I wouldn't be happy anyways."

Destiny popped up out of the backseat, "Dude, you torched all my shi-Fuck's wrong with you?"
Erin sighed, "Gabrielle, you're the biggest bullshit merchant I know and you've got more issues than Marvel comics. But you have got to get the fuck over yourself. If you're happy there's no need to try ruin it just because of some weirdy self-hatey thing, because I know that's all it is and I swear, you are this close to getting my foot up your ass, you hear me?"

"Dude, no really, what? You look fair pissed off."
Gabrielle sighed and looked down at her shoes, sitting upright but still hugging the blanket around her. "Look, he'll be back tomorrow, I'll try explain it then, okay? Fix it somehow."
"Oh, honey, you better. I'm not seeing you fuck shit up because of past eejits. And if you don't then I swear, I'll shove a fireball so far up your ass you'll be puking flames."

Destiny ended up sprawled all over the backseat. "All you had to say was get out, you know." she complained, jumping out the window and through hammerspace to land outside the apartment complex.
