EIGHTEEN

Grace

Early Sunday morning

Michael led us across the street and into the other side of the park. The trees lining the perimeter acted like a buffer, protecting the green oasis from most of the city noise. After passing through the hum of the traffic, the park was eerily quiet.

Archer hung back, grumbling under his breath at how much of a tool Michael was. Ryan walked next to me, his hands stuffed into the front pocket of his hoodie. Hope and Justice eyed me every now and then when they thought I wasn’t looking.

“To what do we owe the pleasure, Michael?” Hope asked, her voice dripping with innuendo. I couldn’t work out if it was sexual, or if she was proud she knew an archangel.

I knew him, too, and sometimes he wasn’t that great.

“You don’t come to the city very often,” Justice said.

“Wait, you’ve come to the city before?” I asked, stopping. “You never came to Hopetown Valley.”

Michael sighed but kept walking. “Yes I did, Grace. You just didn’t know.”

I quickened my pace to catch up with them. I wasn’t about to let prissy little Hope mooch in on my archangel.

“When? And why didn’t you tell me?”

Michael stopped and faced me. He stuffed his hands in the pockets of his jeans. “Because I was there for things that didn’t concern you. Directly, anyway.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” I asked.

“Why is everything to do with you angels so complicated?” Ryan shook his head and walked away a little. He stared at the war memorial. “We need a plan.”

“You should listen to him.” Michael broke eye contact with me and followed Ryan. “His head is in the game.”

“And yours is up your ass,” Archer said.

“Okay, stop.” Hope put her hands on her hips. “Michael, why are you so friendly with a fallen angel? Grace, what the hell do you want? And Archer, what is with the smart mouth? The human is the most normal out of all of you.”

Everyone started talking at once. Michael defended me, I mentioned Josh, and Archer grumbled something about how his attitude was fine. Ryan walked farther away.

“Wait, Josh who?” Justice asked.

“Joshua Chase. Tall, dark, handsome,” I said. “Oh, and very much a vampire.”

“Did he have a girlfriend called Charlotte by any chance?”

“She’s not his girlfriend,” Archer said.

Justice looked at Hope. “The ones we fought with Angelica.”

“Angelica!” I said. “Great, this is getting better and better.”

Michael threw his hands in the air. “See? This is why I’m here.”

“You mentioned Angelica when we saw you at the truck stop. What is she up to?” I asked. “So help me God, Michael, if you don’t tell me I will—”

“What, Grace? What are you going to do to me? I have never done anything but help you. Everything I’ve ever done since you were created was to help you, even when you didn’t want me to. You have to trust me. You have to trust that I can’t tell you everything, or spell it out in black and white, because there is always someone watching.
