In the early afternoon we left our garden and I knew I wouldn’t be coming back. I didn’t belong in Asgard and Valhalla anymore. And maybe Michael didn’t anymore either. He plucked a tiny stem of Lily of the Valley and held it between us. I drank in the fragrance and closed my eyes. I would always remember this smell, and remember this moment, this day. The day I chose who I would be. And who I wouldn’t.

Michael tucked the flower behind my ear, pressing it there with a kiss.

I bent down and plucked up a handful of the little blossoms and tucked them into the baldric that crossed his chest.

“Really?” He looked down and shook his head.

“It’ll help you remember me.”

He picked me up and swung me around, kissing my cheek when he set me back on my feet. “My love, I have never, ever forgotten.” That shadow crossed his eyes again, just before he bent down, kissed my lips, his hands on my face, his lashes brushing against my cheek.

I pushed gently on his chest. “Michael.”

He kept his eyes closed a moment but when he looked at me, he let me see all that troubled him. “I know you think you forgot. I know, even when Father poisoned you against me, against . . . everything . . . a part of you—the real part of you—never forgot.”

I placed my hands on his cheeks, let my heart fill with all the love I had for him, my love, my forever love. “Just like the real part of me never forgot you.”

With a whoosh of air Michael grabbed me to him, pressed his lips against mine. I lost myself in his touch, in his kiss. Gave everything I was—the good and the bad—in exchange for all that he was.

When we finally pulled apart, we took one last look at our garden, then walked through the shimmering trees to the city and wherever our path would take us.
