Chapter Twenty-Five

“That’s so sweet…” Geneva literally blubbered up a storm. She’d gotten to know Mother Nature’s son, Thor, quite well during her off hours, and all the heat she’d been conducting reacted with the humidity of her tears.

Lightning struck the hill behind Jonah’s house.

Geneva jumped from the resulting clap of thunder.

“You find it sweet that your ex is dying little deaths every time he merely thinks Angel’s name?”

Almost used to Teach’s nasty habit of popping in uninvited, Geneva didn’t bother replying to his question. After all, he read minds. If he wanted the info bad enough, he could retrieve it himself!

What she thought sweet—disgustingly so—was the way Jonah genuinely cared for this woman.

At the rate Jonah and Angel’s relationship was so nicely progressing, Geneva figured she’d be sporting those wings in record time. Even Katie seemed deliriously happy. Who cared that Geneva couldn’t remember the last time she’d heard Elvis. In her heart of hearts she knew she was on the right track with her assigned lovebirds, and that was good enough for her.

Teach released a decidedly unangelic snort. “Yes, well, if all of you mortals got to decide your own fates, the world would be in an even sorrier state than it already is. Sorry to burst your bubble there, sugar, but you’re doing an abominable job on your assigned tasks.”

Hands on her hips, Geneva said, “Are you crazy? I’m keeping Sam hopping with all sorts of lame missions. He doesn’t have a clue who Angel is and, at the moment, is so busy clearing the road of overheated cars, escaped cows, and burned-out musty old buildings, he doesn’t even have time to look. And look!” She pointed to her view screen, splitting it in two to show the wide-eyed, tossing-and-turning horn dogs Jonah and Angel had become. “Those two are so hot for each other they can’t even close their eyes. Wait—I spoke too soon.” Angel was closing her eyes, all right, closing her eyes and cupping her great big boobs! “I rest my case. She wants him bad, and look at him. Think there’s supposed to be a tent stake beneath those sheets?”

With a flamboyant wave, Teach erased the screens.

“Hey, what’d you do that for? This was just getting good.”

He sighed. “We are not peeping Toms, my dear Geneva. We are angels-in-training.”

“I thought I was the only angel-in-training and you were already the real deal.”

“I spoke metaphorically. Now, if you will kindly cease interrupting me, I’ll get to the point of my visit. In case you’ve forgotten, Mr. Big imposed a time limit on your mission. As of right now you have only twenty-three days remaining to see Jonah, Angel, and Katie live happily ever after.”

“They already are.”

“You call that happy?”

The screen flashed back to an appropriately blurred view of Jonah cringing from a cold shower’s sting.

Geneva winced. “I get your point. But what am I supposed to do?”

“Discovering the truth about Angel’s background might be a good start.”
