Bad Omens Book 4: Ineffable Part 1

Chapter 33

Gabriel stood in the doorway and watched Eden bid her parents goodbye. They all had made dinner together and once they all finished their meal the four sat and spent some time together in the family room for a bit before the late hour finally approached.

"You'll call if you need help with any of the unpacking?" Aziraphale asked as he ran his hand through Eden's wild curls.

"Yes Papa. I will." They were getting teary eyed again.

"And you make sure that Archangel feeds you. Properly." Crowley added.

"Daddy, you don't need to worry about that. Gabe takes good care of me. Although to be fair I could do with a little less feeding." Eden chuckled, trying to lighten the mood.

"Nonsense." Crowley huffed. "There's nothing wrong with being well fed."

Crowley wanted to say so much more. He wanted to remind her of the "Twelve Inches" rule. And forbid her from going anywhere near the Archangel's bedroom but he bit his lip. "I love you so much my Eden, more than you'll ever know." Crowley then turned to the Archangel.

"Take care of my little girl." The demon's amber orange eyes, usually sharp with suspicion, were now round with sadness and wariness.
