Don't ever, ever, ever try it again.
So that was settled.
It was just one big mistake.
Just don't try it again, don't try it again.
But he knew that eventually he would try it again.
Well, then, don't try to do it tonight.
He exhaled, snuffed out his cigarette, and threw it across the floor.
Eternally linked by love and blood.
Exhausted, he lay back on his bed.
In his heart, he knew what he'd seen.
In his heart, he knew she was alive.
But she had work to do in a city filled with angels.
So Alison was on her way to Los Angeles.
Out of his jurisdiction.
Let them worry about it.
He closed his eyes.
For once, the images didn't come.
For once, he slept through the night.
