Chapter Seven

Gavreel looked over his shoulder at Chandra, who was sitting comfortably in the copilot seat. For the moment the ship was cruising on course and only needed one or the other of them to glance at it every few minutes. And so Chandra had her legs curled up beneath her and a huge brown and gold tome open across her legs.

Gavreel smiled at the picture she made, rather like a contented cat. He cast his eye over the spiky gold hair he had come to love running his fingers through, and even though he couldn’t see the brown eyes reading over the words of the tome quickly, he knew they would be bright and a warm brown, excited to be reabsorbing some much loved history.

“Aha!” she interrupted his thoughts, a definite tone of gloating in her voice. Gavreel smiled and as their eyes met, he discovered he had been correct. Warm brown eyes held a glint of excitement and pure contentment. “I told you so,” she preened.

Gavreel felt a smile slash across his face, and his heart lift a little at her excitement. It had been years since he had really relaxed and enjoyed a female’s company. Rebeka, his first love and Michael’s mother, had died tragically and suddenly, ripping much of his world apart.

Janni, the mother of his twins, Rylan and Simeon, might have lived a decent amount of time, until she had been about eighty, but even though he had loved her, by that stage he had begun to close himself off to women and love, still scarred by the hole Rebeka’s death had left in him.

More than that, he had been terrified the woman he opened up and shared his soul with would pass on, leaving him truly broken, alone and terrified. And so he had always held some distance between himself and the fairer gender.

Although for completely different reasons, both of his more serious romantic relationships had crumbled. Gavreel had never really come close again to truly opening himself. He belatedly realized what he’d been missing out on by never truly experiencing everything a loving, open, giving relationship could offer.

He could now see that even though he had honestly loved both women, he had never really fully trusted them, which a true, honest love needed to flourish. Gavreel closed his eyes for just a second, sending a prayer to ask for forgiveness, wherever Rebeka and Janni now were.

Gavreel still felt slightly shocked that it was Chandra, above all others, with whom he seemed to share this delicate new trust. Chandra, with whom he had argued and bickered endlessly over obscure reference points both in journals, and eventually over comm calls, and whenever they had bumped into each other at gatherings.

He found it amusing and comforting that they still disagreed vehemently over certain philosophical and academic points. Even though both their lives had drastically changed when they completed each other’s Soul Circles recently, and even though he now felt an incredible sexual hunger for her, much of the basis for their friendship and relationship had not altered.
