“I see you. I understand what it is like to be the odd man out and be the one to take the brunt of punishments from another and to be the one people blame when things in their life go wrong.”
“What do you see when you look at me Lucifer?”
His soft dark brown eyes caught mine,
“I see someone who knew nothing but evil in this world, I see someone who despite everything, has a heart of pure gold. I see a person who can be a bit stubborn but ultimately cares with all her heart,”
Dammit.
“I-I see a person worth fighting for.”
We stayed like that for a few moments. Just us together, hand in hand under the dark blanket of stars just gazing at each other.
I see a person worth fighting for.
Would he though? If he had to, would he fight for me? And why? Why would he?
“I should probably get back,” I said breathlessly as I untangled our hands and stood up from my chair.
“I’ll walk you home.”
Lucifer stood and walked over to me, gently grabbing my hand again and locking our fingers together.
I see a person worth fighting for.

Chapter 17
Lucifer’s POV
“So this is where you’ve been staying?” We arrived at what was a little cabin a few feet away from a small river. It was a small two-story black cabin. A dark brown wooden porch wrapped around the top and lower level and a matte black door served as the front entrance. Small little white flowers lined the entryway to the door.
Moon flowers.
“It might not be as nice as Gabriel’s but it’s mine.” A slight blush appeared on her cheeks as she turned to face me,
“Would you like to come inside?”
More than anything.
“I would like that.”
Still clutching my hand she led me up the small four steps and onto the front porch and into her little home. The smell of vanilla and lavender greeted me.
The same scent as her library.
The walls were also the same as her library, that dark green color with dark brown exposed wood beams throughout. Like Gabriel’s house, hers was open. The living room connected to the kitchen with black cabinets that had gold hardware and just like Gabriel’s place she had all stainless steel appliances and an island in the middle but instead of the fully white piece that Gabriel had, hers was a mixture of Black, dark gray with flecks of gold throughout, and a small dining area with a small dark brown table that could fit six. Dark hardwood floors accentuated the floors and the walls were decorated with pictures. Lots of pictures. A long black sofa faced the stone fireplace she had and just above it was a large wall-mounted TV. It was dark but ultimately very cozy and welcoming. It was her.
“How did you find this place?”
Catalina shrugged as she walked into the kitchen and placed her bag on the island,
“Technically Gabriel found it, but it was all worn down and he said it gave him haunted house vibes but I liked it so he helped me fix it up over the years.”
“I thought you stayed with Gabriel?”
“I do but this is where I come when I want to get away from everything.”
