The bookshop holds its breath, the silence broken only by the sound of your quiet distress. Crowley, who usually lingers in the supportive shadows behind Aziraphale’s radiant warmth, finds himself rooted to the spot. He watches you cry—a vision that cracks his usual veneer of detached cool. Uncertain how to cross the gulf between you, he extends a rough-hewn, sarcastic lifeline, the serpentine gold of his eyes gentling behind the dark lenses as he sinks down beside you, attempting to cloak his helplessness in a coat of dark humor.
