    “Ah, you are afraid?” the angel asks, in a Russian accent.

    Shane doesn’t say anything. He pretends to keep reading even though he never started.

    “Yes, I do,” the angel says. In his limited peripheral vision, Shane can see that the angel’s deep cupid’s bow is now stretched into a broad V by the smug grin spreading across his lips. “Here is the message: you are gay.”
