Chapter 34: The Makeover Episode

“Virdia!” Alastair complains.

“Oh, so what? You’re both so cute and I bet you don’t have any pictures together,” she pouts, pulling her phone out of reach when Alastair dives for it. “I won’t show anyone, GOD,” she grouses.

“Are you sure about this?” Azazel asks Oliver quietly,

Alastair gives up on the phone to focus on Oliver. Oliver smiles that knockout smile Alastair fell for the second they’d met—full of a confidence and goodness that Alastair cannot put into words.

“Yes,” he insists.

“Well, good. Now that that’s settled…” Virdia trails off before Alastair can ask Oliver once again if he is positive.

Oliver seems resolute and it is the best plan they have at the end of the day. Still, Alastair wishes there were any other way.

Oliver is looking at him with a calm reassurance that Alastair can’t tell if he’s faking. His scrutinizing eyes aren’t distracted from their duty until Virdia opens the front door and an unfamiliar voice greets all of their ears.
