I spent the rest of the day moping around the apartment. I knew I needed to kick myself out of this funk that I’d put myself in, but I wasn’t sure how to do it because I’d come to a realization: I had a massive crush on Graham Michael. Even though I told myself that I wasn’t one of those girls, apparently I was.

But I was also smart enough to realize that a crush on him was completely and totally pointless. He was never meant to be a part of my life. He was an Angel Blessed for God’s sake, and the leader of the Seraph Force. I cleaned an Angel Blessed home for a living. There was no future for us.

And besides, there was no indication that my crush was anything but one-sided. Graham Michael had his choice of pretty much any girl. I was not going to be a choice for longer than a night.

At the same time, I had to admit, his reputation wasn’t like the other Angel Blessed. I'd heard of him with a few women but it wasn’t one night stands. He didn't go through women like it was his right. An image of D’Angelo's smug face wafted through my mind. Now he lived up to the Angel Blessed bad reputation.

But still I’d never heard of Graham being involved with a Demon Cursed. Angel Blessed didn't get involved with Demon Cursed, at least not emotionally. And from how much he consumed my thoughts and the way my body reacted to him, I knew just a physical relationship wouldn't be possible, at least on my side. So I'd gotten angry and shoved him away.

Besides, what I’d said about the differences between Blue Forks and Sterling Peak was completely true. The Angel Blessed had all of these resources at their disposal, and they used them to protect themselves to their fullest advantage. They’d even created a means of cutting off the bridge if a group of demons attacked.

Which meant they’d leave the demons in Blue Forks.

Meanwhile the people of Forks had to fend for themselves. And most of the time, people couldn’t fend very well. Take Manny. There was no one for him to go to for help besides me, and that was based on geography. I was his neighbor. There was no law enforcement body that he could ask to help him.

Even if it had been in daylight when Cecelia had gone missing, he wouldn’t have been able to go over to Sterling Peak and ask them for help, simply because they wouldn’t have given it to him. We were completely and totally on our own.

But while everything I said to Graham was accurate, it also wasn’t his fault. He hadn’t set up society like this. The beliefs that the Demon Cursed didn’t deserve any more than they currently had was ingrained in this world long before either he or I was born.

So while what I had said was true, and while my anger was justified, the target of my anger wasn’t.
