Page 81 of Seraph's Tears
I nodded. Anything to get home and away from this mess.
“We will make preparations and leave within three days’ time.” Castiel stood and gave some sort of salute.
I hesitantly rose as well, shaking out my wrinkled skirts. I glanced at Eve, but she only had eyes for this seraph captain she was clearly sleeping with.
Castiel steered me from the room again, as if I was a child.
I should be relieved he was beginning to treat me as unintelligent, but for some reason it rankled.
Once out in the hall, Castiel turned those sparkling brown eyes on me. His mouth lifted in an insouciant grin, and he slouched against the wall as best he could with wings at his back. “Well, Lily, looks like we’re going on a journey together. Lucky you.”
A string of curses erupted in my mind. I weakly smiled at him, realizing I needed to be careful to redon my mask. “A true blessing.”
“Come now. You’re going to tell me all about your church and then we’ll plot.” He put a warm hand on my shoulder, and I shivered at the unexpected, but unfortunately not unwelcome, touch, and let him guide me toward his plans.
THE END
