“Your brother is an ass.”
I said to Gabriel as I slammed the back door shut and ran up the stairs to the kitchen.
“You’re going to have to be more specific, I have a lot of brothers.”
He stood up from the couch and met me in the kitchen, tossing me a cold bottle of water.
“The jack frost wanna-be on steroids. Micheal.”
Gabriel’s lips tilted up in a smile,
“He’s a bit of a perfectionist.”
Perfectionist my ass!
These past two weeks Micheal had been ruthless. We would be outside training for up to six hours and it was still not enough for him. He was a horrible teacher. Unlike Gabriel or Lucifer, anytime I did something wrong Micheal didn’t bother to help me correct it, he would insult me and rebound.

“Well anyway, tell your darling brother I won’t be at training for a few days.”
Gabriel looked at me with a puzzled look on his face.
He forgot. Again.
I pointed to the calendar hanging on the wall.
“How is it already that time of year?”
This time each year I felt got here quicker and quicker and it never seemed to get easier no matter how much I prepared.
“Usual spot on Saturday?”
Gabriel nodded as he headed over and grabbed a box of snacks out of the pantry,
“Same time as usual?” He asked as he handed me a pack of fruit snacks,
