After Rosie went to bed, Angel sat at the kitchen table with Litha. Every night she covered the table with photos and gave him various facts about Storm’s relationship with different people he might encounter. Litha didn’t remember the exact day or time of the shift, but at some point, Angel had stopped sighing, rolling his eyes, studying his fingernails, and acting like a kid who’d been sent to detention. He had begun to show an interest, had applied himself, studied the details, asked questions and no longer acted resentful when she corrected him about a mannerism or posture or the way he phrased something.

“That’s enough for tonight. I think you’re at the point where we can turn Ram loose on you?”

“Oh boy.”

In spite of herself, Litha chuckled at that. “Sir Hawking was a little intimidating during your last exchange with him, but believe me, he has another side.”

She rose from the table to finish cleaning up from dinner. Angel sat and watched her. There must have been some women like her in his life at some point. From what he remembered of his mother, she was warm and loving, but there hadn’t been anyone like that since he’d left home. For the first time he asked himself why he hadn’t stayed in contact with her. For the first time he wondered if his disappearance had caused her worry. Gods of glory. Am I an asshole?

Litha was sexy, but not because she wore provocative clothes and not because she tried to strike poses or be coquettish. She was sexy because, when she spoke she sounded genuine and sincere. Her mannerisms were not calculated in terms of provocation, but flowed effortlessly as an extension of her personality. When she loved, she was unconsciously and unpretentiously graceful and feminine. In other words, she was grounded in authenticity. A real woman. The best kind. And Angel found her more fascinating every day.

She was beautiful, but not because she wore a lot of makeup. She was beautiful because her eyes were so deep a green they were exotic, other worldly really. Her hair was wild and seemed to suit her perfectly. It was outrageously curly, but not frizzy.

He knew she hated him because of the sex, but she’d made an effort to be patient with him about learning all the details of someone else’s life: the names, who they were to Storm, how he really felt about them, and so on. She’d been polite and courteous enough that sometimes he could fool himself into thinking he was a real house guest.

He liked having dinner with Litha and Rosie at the end of the day. For one thing, it was kind of cool to see the kid grow into somebody else every single day. Rosie talked about her adventures and Litha asked questions. When her mother was searching for Storm, which was most of the time, Rosie’s grandmother came to the villa and stayed with her, or she went to the monastery and spent time
