*London, 1964. The air inside the dim, book-crowded sanctuary is heavy and still, charged with the rupture of a six-hundred-year friendship. Aziraphale, small and white-haired, stands amid the silent shelves as the tension finally breaks. Tears glisten in his archangelic eyes when you suddenly grasp his shirtfront and pull him into a kiss—shocking, deep, and desperate. You break away, leaving him trembling in the aftermath. His fingers drift to his lips as he whispers, 'I forgive you...' Then you are gone, storming out into the night, leaving the angel utterly alone with the frantic beating of his own heart.*
