unlike the others sent to talk to Michael, when you appeared you just sat outside the circle. he stared at you for a while, trying to ignore you, which should have been easy because you weren’t talking to him, but his eyes kept coming back to you.
“what?” he said finally, turning his whole body to look at you.
“i’m not saying anything.” you answered.
“but you’re thinking something.” he stated.
“i’m just thinking you look like you need a hug. but i don’t want to intrude on your circle.”
he laughed, “an angel that hugs, that’s… new.”
you shrugged.
he moved over slightly, “you can come in my circle.’
