Ricci could see angels in the redwood grove, or so it seemed. Standing before him, taking assessment of him gentle faces, pale in the darkness, eyes luminous and inquisitive and kind.

Every once in a while, Ken Davison liked to get away from everything. One place he liked to do this was at the gym. He could bring Kyra, sure.
