Summary
Alastor’s finger trailed from her shoulder to her neck. It swiped up the hollow of her throat to rest gently beneath her chin, locking her gaze onto his own. His smile thinned. “You're not an angel, Miss Morningstar,” he said simply. “You never have been. And you never will.”
Charlie frowned against the sudden tightness in her chest. She’d spent her whole life being told who she was. Who she could and couldn’t be. “You’re wrong,” she insisted. “People can change.”
“Mmm… I’d save that one for syndication, sweetheart.”
One year after the battle with Adam, Vaggie's body succumbs to the toxins of Hell, forcing her to return to Heaven. Permanently. As Charlie grapples with the prospect of an interminable long-distance relationship (as well as the ever-solidifying realization that "redemption" means all her friends will ultimately leave her), she starts building up tension. A lot of tension.
And what better way for a Hellborn gal to relieve it than with some good old-fashioned violence? Especially with a certain hotelier who's more than eager to shed some blood. Surely, there's nothing too terrible about that. After all, it's only violence, right?
