‘I DON’T UNDERSTAND why we had to get the Tube when we can ride taxis for free,’ Sebastian muttered.

It was the morning rush hour, and he was seated beside Luci on a Piccadilly line train. They’d caught the Tube at Heathrow Airport and managed to secure a seat. Sebastian wasn’t used to London’s public transport; the smell and heat emanating from the other passengers was making him nauseous.

‘I like to be surrounded by people. It makes me happy. I’ve spent far too long on my own over the years,’ she answered, staring up at the Tube map opposite them. ‘We need to change at King’s Cross station. Didn’t you tell me Ella goes to university there?’

Sebastian shook his head.

‘That was over three years ago,’ he said quietly, leaning into Luci and avoiding eye contact with the other commuters. He’d bought a baseball cap at the airport, but he was still worried about being recognised. ‘She will have finished her degree by now. Let’s stick to the original plan and go to Highgate. My father will know where she is. Maybe you can convince him to forgive me while you’re there and then find a way to get the Met Police to drop the charges against me.’

‘Maybe. Oh! Look at that,’ Luci cried, pointing at the Tube map in front of them. ‘We’re close to Angel station. I came here four hundred years ago. My whisperers had heard there were two angels at an inn, one with long, wavy hair and the other with dark skin. I knew they were talking about Zadkiel and Gabriel, but I got there too late. I’m always one step behind my boy.’

Luci’s voice was so loud that people were starting to stare at her, a woman dressed in crazy, skimpy hippy clothes, talking about angels. Sebastian looked the other way and closed his eyes, hoping it would make her stop. He was tired. The journey from the Saharan settlement to London hadn’t been an easy one.

After her big reveal to Sebastian back in Morocco, Luci had left him tied to the chair in her tent and ridden into the main town on a camel with one of the yoga teachers. She’d returned an hour later driving a Jeep. The next day she’d announced they were leaving.

‘You’re free now,’ she’d told everyone at the campsite.

Sebastian had watched as people queued outside her tent to say goodbye. She’d looked each person in the eye and placed a hand on their shoulder as she spoke. Some had hugged her, and some had cried. The young girl with the shaved head had begged Luci to take her with them and had kissed the fallen angel until Sebastian had begun to stir. Why did they all love the crazy bitch after being treated like slaves and being held captive in the middle of nowhere?

‘You won’t remember me. You will only recall a wonderful time at your yoga retreat,’ she said to the girl. ‘Now go on and do good things and be happy.
