Four hours later, he finally showed up.

"I apologize darling, seems things are getting a little extra entertaining at my job" Alastor grinned when he was walking into the house.

I had konked out in the livingroom, waiting for him.

He sat on the couch next to me, gently waking me up

"You're late" I groaned

"I know my little dove" he kissed my forehead.

"I have a little proposal for you when you awaken" he stroked my black hair. Twirling the little white pieces in my hair while jazz music played in the background.

"What's that?" I finally was able to sit up after a few minutes.

Alastor snapped us a pot of tea, pouring the kettle into two cups.

"Why not join this hotel as a guest?" He asked me.

"I thought you said the place was a joke"

"It is, but I do believe you could be an asset to Charlie's delusional ideas. You are from heaven after all."

"Isn't that place about redeeming demons so they could get into heaven?"

"Yes"

"Won't that put me into some amount of danger?"

"Not if I'm around"

"Yes but I know you have a few side quests."

"Of course I do but I'm a great multitasker my dear. You should know that" he leaned in closer "in and out the bedroom" he teased.

My face lit up red "Alastor! You know our arrangement. Don't speak like that"

Alastor and I aren't very sexual people. We had discussed our feelings on the subject. Twice a year. More specifically on our birthdays will we participate in all that naughty stuff. When he speaks about stuff like this, I start to feel things.

"I know but it's fun to watch you all lit up" he laughed. "Dear, nothing will ever happen to you here. No one will ever get the option" little green symbols appeared around him as he describes brutally murdering anyone who dares to harm his wife. "I promise"

I sighed with a little frown "I don't know if it's a good idea."

"Give it some thought. You would be able to possibly make her dream happen darling and as host of the hotel, I need to at least try to make Charlie's little plan work"

"I will think about it" I assured him. "How would you introduce me?"

"At first I thought it was a good idea to admit that you are my wife but I think for both your protection and mine, we should keep it on the downlow for now" he grinned ear to ear. "I hope you understand"

He wants to keep me safe because if I get harmed in anyway, he will also get harmed.

"Fine. I'll help out."

"Lovely" he stood up and reached out his hand for me

I took it and gave him a huge hug

Alastor never mentioned it to me but I always noticed, he felt guilty I was down here. As much as he enjoyed the failure of Charlie's hotel, part of him hoped it did work and I could be redeemed into heaven. Even if it meant we could no longer be together.

We went to bed. In reality, I went to bed. Alastor just likes to watch me sleep. Sometimes he powers down in the corner but the man is very protective. He doesn't need sleep.
