GABRIEL wasn’t the most perceptive of angels, but he could tell when something was definitely wrong. Malakiy had spoken the most common reply angels had to being asked if they were fine when they were most certainly not. He was fine. He was okay.
He was lying.
Gabriel’s gaze was surprisingly patient, the kind of stare he reserved to people he actually considered worth such a look. His hand rose, as if he was going to place it on the other’s shoulder, but he wasn’t sure if he could do that without overstepping some imaginary boundary he had set in his head.
❛ ... You don’t have to pretend, Malakiy. You can tell me what’s going on. ❜
