“No. Do you hear me, no.” My cap stretched and wove between our united fingers, like a ribbon knotting us together.

“I know it’s not true. I’ve worked through it again and again. See, spiral? And here I am back again.” She sighed. “It’s hard, though, being back. And hearing those voices, always whispering and echoing, telling me I’m not valuable.”

I willed every ounce of warmth and sincerity into my words. “Anytime you need a reminder, lemme remind you: You are and will always be valuable to me. With you here, I can bear being on this stupid bloody planet. With you out there, I can bear drifting through the stars with a stupid dead dream.” I clutched her hands to my chest. “You’re my home, Malani. You always will be.”

Her mouth lifted into a smile, and it was the most nova thing I’d ever seen. Even with what little light we had, her colorless dreads seemed to glow, and the sharp angles of her body cast long shadow-like wings. She was truly beautiful. She truly was an angel. My angel. Sent to guide me home.

My heart thundered in my chest, so full, so heavy, so hers.

“Your soul is the most elegant design I’ve ever seen.” My voice cracked. “There is no flaw in you.”

She leaned over and pressed her forehead to mine. Her eyes filled with tears. “You know, I think I might love you.”

Every nerve ending was on fire. I pulled her mouth to mine as I whispered against her lips, “That’s good. Because I think I might love you too.”

An auto air-conditioning unit kicked on, causing the door to creak closed, but neither of us cared.
