After breakfast, Ryker said, "Back to the cell."

My mother asked, from the doorway, "What cell?"

The guys all leaped from the table to their feet, as if they'd been caught doing something they shouldn't. Except for Nim, who ducked his head to hide his smirk.

She glanced between them, the look on her face pure mom even if these guys were all hulking and dangerous. Impatiently, she demanded, "What's this about a cell?"

"He's a half-demon." Ryker said shortly.

"Why would you even have a cell in your house? What is wrong with you people?" My mother demanded. To Ryker, she said, "He saved our lives."

"It's not always that simple," Ryker said. Because it had gone so well when he used that line with my mother before.

"Also," Mom continued as if Ryker hadn't said anything, "I have some questions about demons."

"And I have some questions about angels." Jacob touched my elbow, nodding at the door. "I need to borrow Ellis before we go into the Far. I'll leave...this...to you all."

"I thought you were the expert on angels," I said as Jacob and I left the dining room. He turned and closed French doors behind us, giving us some small amount of privacy in the kitchen.

"No," he said shortly. "After all, I didn't grow up with angels around. The only other time I met Zuriel, he had a sword in his hands and murder in his eyes."

"I don't have a glib response to that."

"He certainly took deadbeat dad a step further," Jacob said.

"How did you get away from him?"

"He didn't have it in him to kill me. I'd rather not gamble on that much."

"Me either."

"But I'd like to gamble on it a little." He hesitated. "Ellis, it's a terrible time for me to leave you guys. Which is why I wanted to talk to you first."

"About your crazy idea?"

He nodded. "I thought maybe I could go see Zuriel. Find out what it's going to take to get him off our heels."Brilliant idea. Definitely. "He held a sword to your throat."

"It was a heated moment."

I raked my hand through my hair. "It's a terrifying plan. Also, I kind of need you if we're going to steal back Nim's soul."

Jacob leaned against the counter, crossing his arms over his chest. "I do love a good heist."

"So you're in?"

"I thought the decision was already made, from the sounds of the conversation over breakfast."

"Which still blows my mind, since you were all ready to kill him."

Jacob smiled faintly. "I trust you."

"And that is why I adore you." I rested my hands on his shoulders, smiling slightly to undercut those ridiculous words. He wrapped his hands around my waist. Softly, I said, "I miss you lately."

"Because we're not trapped in a demon's case together with all the time in the world to chat?"

I crinkled my nose at him. "When you say it like that, it sounds ridiculous."

"I miss you, too," he said. "Once I get this Zuriel situation figured out, once no one's trying to kill us. Date?"

"Yes, please." I cocked my head at him.
