“I want to see your wings,” I said idly, tracing one finger down Ethan’s spine. He arched against my touch and turned his head to smile at me.

“Hmm.” He only opened one eye. “It seems a bit much, even for you, to ask me to open the Realms right here in your bedroom.” He rolled on his side, openly laughing at me now. “It would be… dangerous. Trust me.”

I grabbed a fuzzy fleece blanket for protection. “Realms? You mean, like Heaven and Hell?”

“Some call them so.”

“So when I saw them as…” I frowned in the dark, flat on my back now, thinking. “Planes of Light and Dark? And not as wings, with feathers? That’s what you carry on your back, then? Heaven or Hell?”

“Light and Dark is perhaps more apt,” he corrected. He rolled me on my side and tucked me into the curve of him, my head just under his chin.

“But how do you fly?” I demanded.

The entire bed shook for several silent minutes until I realized he had buried his head deep within the comforter to silence his laughter. I wormed an elbow backwards and tried to jab him in the stomach, but, impossibly, annoyingly fast, he caught it. “You’ll hurt yourself, doing that,” he admonished.

“I’m serious,” I hissed in the darkness.

“I know,” he said. The shaking started again, but he managed to choke out an answer. “Caspia, we’re not birds. We don’t fly. What most people see as wings are more like doors.”

“To the Realms?” I asked.
