let
them know I wasn’t some dumb girly angel? After folding my hands on
the table, I threw the idea at them, “You should build a lab.”
    Vyn and Jaydenn paused, raised brows at each
other. Angie backed me up with a grin.
    Jaydenn said, “You know what, that’s a great
idea, kid.”
    Kid! Eventually that would wear off, if I had
to beat it out of him. And what’s with that tone, anyway? Like he’s
so much older than I am. Please . He’s only twenty.
    Jaydenn swiveled his deep-green eyes to
Angie, back to me. “I meant, Ellie.”
    He knew my name! I lifted a smile just for
him. Then, judging by the look on Angie’s face, I suspected she’d
been training him to learn my name. I’d never told anyone how much
it bugged me, but she knew, my sister, of course she knew. I beamed
a thank-you look to her, she accepted with a gentle nod.
    “Well, what do we need to build the lab?” I
asked.
    “Diamonds,” Vyn replied, “lotsa
diamonds.”
    “Is that all,” I said. “It just so happens we
have quite a few of those.”
    “We can’t ask yo—”
    Angie interrupted, “Just get over it, Vyn.
It’s for a good cause. It’s not just for you, you know. The future
of angels is at stake.”
    Jaydenn chimed in, “That’s true. Just think
about this. We could recruit the strongest angels. Build an army of
night flyers to get rid of the hunters for good.”
    Well, not what I had in mind, but Vyn seemed
excited. I couldn’t let them know my disagreement, though. Angie
bent forward, reached over and laid her hand on mine, consoling me
with her palm, holding back my reins.
    “We would need equipment, and concrete and—”
Vyn started to say. I cut him short:
    “Have you forgotten what Dad used to do?”
    Vyn took a moment, scratched at his chin,
before his eyes widened. “You’re right. He has all we need. Do you
think he’d go for it? If we explained it, I mean?”
    “I don’t see why not. I’m sure he’d like
another chance to help a good cause.”
    “Okay, well that settles it,” Jaydenn said,
unfolding his arms and clasping his hands on the table. “We’re off
to Boden tomorrow, right? Elle, I know you wanted to check out that
new fancy store that Ang loves so much. And we can have a talk with
your dad.”
    “I. Love so much. Huh, Jay?” Angie said. “I.
Not you? You don’t seem to mind that new store either.” She
straightened her nighty with fingertips, lifted a little grin, and
added, “Dear.”
    Vyn said to Angie, “We’ll just stay here
tonight, if that’s okay with you.”
    Angie turned eyes on Vyn. “Well that was the
plan all along. Didn’t Ellie tell you we were having a sleepover?
Whoops.” That wasn’t the plan; she was toying with him.
    “All right then,” Jaydenn said in a too-deep
masculine tone, “we’ll leave at sun up.”
    “Sun up?” Angie snickered, gave Jaydenn a
funny look. “You mean in the morning, right, mister, tough
male .”
    “Yeah, yeah, whatever. Get your little butt
outta that chair. I’ll show you tough.”
    Angie grinned, rolled her eyes. Then
proceeded to finish her cake, sip her tea, and wait.
    Jaydenn poked fun at Vyn, “We can pick up a
new razor for you too.”
    Even as Jaydenn continued to talk, Angie,
with a sneaky face and a green-eyed twinkle, rose from her chair,
stalked behind him like a cat.
    “This’ll be your first shave, won’t it? My
boy’s growin up. I think I feel a tear com—”
    Angie smacked the back of his head with
playful fingers and bounded off like a bunny. Jaydenn lifted off
his chair and strode behind her, as Angie hopped on her tiptoes
across the living room, her furry socks slipping on the hardwood,
wings folded to her back and hair bouncing as she giggled away.
    Stopped at the opposite side of the living
room table, Jaydenn gave her a devious look. Angie, in breathless
tittering laughter, moved to one side, her socks sliding as Jaydenn
reacted. She slid to the other side and he stopped her again with a
twitch and a
