me. Behind him, the shadow of decaying wings, a bullshit trick;

begged. “Whatever you want me to do, I’m gonna screw it up. Maybe on
purpose. Your observers should’ve reported my predilections.”
“Indeed. I hope to see you indulge them all, and then some.”
“Why?”
His smile left me raw. “Because daughter, it will waken Lucifer.”
