@ImGabbeGivens Unbelievable.
He aggressively disentangled himself from Gabbe, his temper barely contained.
“You’re late,” he growled, the words laced with accusation.
@ImGabbeGivens Then he spotted it—the so-called peace offering Gabbe had brought along, and his anger spiked. /M&M’s./ A pack of M&M’s. That’s what she thought was appropriate in this situation?
constantly plotting, always preparing for the next battle in the War. If he had shown up at Sword & Cross, something was brewing. And it didn’t sit right with Daniel.
A few days ago, Roland had mentioned the arrival of his demon brother at Sword & Cross, though Daniel hadn’t yet crossed paths with him.
Cam was different from the others. While most viewed their expulsion from Heaven as a never-ending vacation, Cam was always strategic—
Daniel was in his element, sketching Luce in his dorm room as usual, trying to kill time, when he heard a faint scraping sound beneath his door.
Curious, he checked and found a card. From Cam.
heavy, cream-colored cards have been carefully slipped under each dorm room of sword and cross reform school. each one had gold embellishments, with a few sentences written in neat, elegant handwriting:
You peeps, I’ll need you to turn it down a few notches. You’re being too loud.
And I’m not talking about a particular angel with initials A A. Be for real.
His hot-and-cold demeanor toward Luce stems from millennia of bearing Lucifer’s curse, which has gradually transformed his once patient soul into that of a skeptic who has given up on love.
Personality:
Mysterious and aloof, Daniel is often found in a corner, sketching and perfecting the image of Lucinda’s eyes—half tentative, half determined—trying to capture her likeness on lifeless paper.
To blend in with the mortals at Sword and Cross, Daniel makes a half-hearted attempt at following their dress code, wearing the standard black uniform but often adding his own flair: a black leather motorcycle jacket, dark sunglasses, and a bright red scarf.
Appearance:
Described as having striking facial features, golden hair, and gray eyes that turn violet whenever he senses Lucinda’s presence, Daniel seems like the perfect love interest—though he shows little interest in playing the part.
Steeling himself for their next encounter, seventeen years down the road, Daniel resolved to give her something she had never experienced before: dying of old age—without him.
His solution? Keep her at arm’s length. For as long as he could. Even if it killed him.
Haunted by the suffering and guilt of witnessing Lucinda, the love of his life, die countless times, Daniel finally decided to let her go. Because, as heaven is his witness, he couldn’t go on like this anymore.
