They couldn’t go to the school during the day. There were too many people around, and there was no way that the teachers and staff would fail to notice the massive Ryder beside her. So as much as it killed her, Sharen told the demons that they’d have to wait until nightfall to save her friend.

They didn’t seem to mind. Instead, she watched them as they explored life as…human-like people again. She followed them to the backyard as they breathed in the fresh air and even stopped to pick flowers and smell them. Within a few minutes, Sharen felt better than she had in years. It was like all the things that she’d forgotten to appreciate were suddenly impossible to ignore.

“Are you a gardener?” Ryder asked, kneeling down by some wild flowers.

She shook her head. “I have someone who tends the garden. With how much I work, there’s no time to do anything. Actually, I’d normally already be at work, offering to tutor students and going through research about the realms.”

Ryder frowned, his gentle blue eyes onto her face. “But surely you can’t work all the time?”

She shrugged, feeling strange.

Suddenly, Alec lifted her chin. “Do you like working so much?”

It took a minute to remember to speak as she looked up into his handsome face. “I don’t know. Sometimes. But a job like mine, filled with training constantly to keep my body in shape, training with my students, teaching classes no one appreciates, and diving into dangerous realms…it’s draining.”

He nodded and pressed a soft kiss to her lips. “I worked a lot in life too. I barely made time for my brothers, or even…even my sister. And I regret it more than I can ever say.”

“Regret sucks to live with,” Ryder said, touching the petals of a flower.

Alec moved away from her, staring out at the cloudy sky at her side. “If you don’t want to work all the time, don’t. Life is too damn short.”

Kade breathed in deeply and spread his arms at his side, tilting his face to the sun.

She couldn’t help but smile. “You guys really missed this realm, huh?”

Ryder set the flower down and ran his fingers along the grass. “You have no idea. But now that we have a second chance, we’re not going to waste it. As long as we don’t use our powers, the angels won’t be able to find us. We can live a peaceful life, and this time enjoy as much of it as we can.”

Wow. They’re pretty damn excited just about my boring backyard. I wonder how they’d act if we did something that was actually fun?

Suddenly, a strange idea hit her. “Do you guys want to go to the fair? There’s one in town that I’ve been passing, and I kind of wanted to--”

“Yes,” Ryder said, not even letting her finish.

She laughed, along with Ryder and Alec, and even the stoic Kade gave a smile. So, even though it seemed crazy, she loaded the demons into her car and they headed to the fair.
