After the snow stops, Aisha suggests we go for a walk. “I’ve got cabin fever and want you to see Central Park.”

My list has grown considerably with the most important addition being Mercy’s friendship with Faith. Now I’m just adding on silly stuff, like Aisha’s platform ankle boots.

She glances at my list. “You can borrow them sometime.”

“Now?”

“Not now, dorky. Not for where we’re going. C’mon.”

We bundle up and walk a couple of blocks east of her building and then we’re there.

I blink my eyes. It’s stunning. Gorgeous. Magnificent.

Truly.

The bare branches of the trees are frosted with a layer of unspoiled snow.

Aisha smiles at me, her eyes sparkling like surroundings. In that minute, I can picture her as an AIT. “Let’s make snow angels,” she says.

“What?”

“Here. I’ll show you.” Aisha falls back into a snow bank. She waves her arms up and down, her legs scissoring in and out. She looks kinda ridiculous, so I laugh. She holds her hand out for me to grab it. “Lift me, so I don’t mess it up.” When she’s standing, I can see the outline of her thrashing‌—‌a head, a robe. And wings. “You next.”

She doesn’t have to tell me twice. I don’t care how silly I look. Laughter bubbles up as I move like she did, sweeping my arms and legs to and fro. After she pulls me up, I check out my angel. Not bad. If only wings were that easy. Still, how can something so simple make me so happy?

Confession: That seems like a real miracle.

“C’mon,” Aisha says. “I’ve got something else to show you. It’s a little bit of a hike.”

We take off, leaving our footprints in the fresh snow behind us.

As we trudge along, I ask “What’s your Mission this time? It’s more than showing me how to make snow angels right?”

“I can’t tell you that. You know we’re supposed to keep it a secret.”

Huh? “I didn’t know that. Why?”

Aisha looks over at me, one brow arched like she doesn’t quite believe me. Her eyes soften. “Oh, yeah. It’s been so long since I was training, I can never figure out what you’ve already been taught or what’s in future classes. We keep it a secret because when we do something good‌—‌an act of kindness‌—‌we’re not supposed to glorify ourselves. You can’t be like, ‘Oh look at me. I’m being so angelic.’ That’s a big no-no.”

It is? Honestly this is another one of those rules that make no sense to me. “I thought that was the whole point of being a Guardian,” I say in frustration. “Credit for being good.”

“Being good is the point. I’m not supposed to let my left hand know what my right is doing, so I certainly can’t tell you.”

The rule seems unfair, and I can feel frustration bubbling the same way happiness did mere moments ago. I stop, crossing my arms in front of my chest. “Other Celestial Beings always get credit for their actions. Maybe I picked the wrong vocation.”

“Maybe that’s why you don’t have your wings yet.
