Grace had stayed at his side night and day since had awakened Sunday evening. Kalev had tried to get her to take a break, but she’d insisted, and he had to admit, he liked the attention. She’d even had Gav go to her apartment to get her a duffel with some ‘essentials’. It was clear that Gav had absolutely no clue what was ‘essential’ because he came back with what appeared to be half of her apartment. He’d even hauled over her mattress so she didn’t have to sleep on the love seat. Grace had burst into a fit of giggles when Gav had carried it in, and Gav had laughed in return. He wasn’t sure if he’d ever heard Gav truly laugh. The two of them laughing together had made a spark of jealousy flair in him, despite reason telling him it was foolish.

To make matters worse, she’d been cooking up a storm, insisting he needed to eat to build up his strength. He was no longer surprised when he put food in his mouth and tasted its flavor, but he still found taste quite unnerving. In the past few days, though, he’d discovered that he enjoyed most foods and loved falafel in particular. He couldn’t hide his delight when he’d first tasted it. Grace had smiled at him. “It’s Annalise’s grandmother’s recipe,” she’d told him, as if that was all the explanation needed to account for why the falafel tasted so good. “I’ll make you more tomorrow.”

Each night, after Grace had gone to sleep, Caleb had snuck into the shower, closed the curtain and let himself glow as brightly as he dared, converting all the energy the food provided into light. It was not a pleasant sensation, but he could not come up with any reasonable excuses for not eating, and now that he could taste food, it almost seemed worth it.

Grace had just helped him change a bandage he couldn’t reach himself on his right shoulder blade. The once blackened, weeping welts had become only an angry pink. Grace had been shocked. Although he hadn’t had Gav help his healing along, angels healed much faster than humans. Again, he’d had to lie to her and told her that injuries from demons healed differently. He’d spun a bs story that the power that had created the wounds faded if you killed the demon who’d caused them. She’d looked skeptical until he reminded her of the cut she’d received from an arrow only a few days before. He’d pointed out that it had healed much more quickly than she’d expected because killing the demon that had attacked her had made the healing go faster. She bought it.

Liar. Liar. Liar. He hated this. Why was he so damn good at something so wrong?

Now she was putting the final piece of tape around the edge of the gauze. “I think it’s time you answer some of my questions,” she said quietly.

He tensed. He hadn’t been prepared for her to spring the conversation this second.
