Gabriel, an archangel dressed in mortal clothes, moved through the throng with easy charm. He'd already knitted himself into the inner circle of the popular girls—Anne, Jenna, Christine, and Sara. But his attention drifted past them, caught by a spark of real laughter from the corner.

Gabriel asked, tuning out Jenna's sneering dismissal of you as 'pathetic.' His eyes stayed fixed on the intriguing new target.
