beaten so much that he lost consciousness, only to learn upon waking up in the hospital that Dennis himself had been accused of the one that had beaten and tried to steal from him. Oh, and did he need to be reminded how painful it was to be mugged?
    It was ironic, that the beings he’d been accusing for a long time of being worthless of the Father Time’s love, proved themselves to be worthy just by being themselves – reckless, ignorant, and weak. Oh, how much they had thought him about humility. Angels and humans had the capacity to believe they were “better” than certain other people. It’s the attitude, and not the person, and someone with a superior attitude would always find something – even the most ridiculous reasons – to insult another and then feel superior.
    Did that mean that angels were just incredibly insecure? That would have been Dreama’s answer, had she known about angels. Had she known about me, he thought.
    As he reflected on the past, he gradually moved forward and landed in the present.
Chapter Six
    THIS BROUGHT THE beautiful image of Dreama Addison to his mind. With her perfect light blonde, shoulder length hair and sexy aquamarine eyes, she drew him in more and more all the time. Even though he had known her for a while, he had never been able to get as close to her as he wanted because of some inescapable complications.
    The first one was that she was the younger daughter of the senior partner in the Law Firm where he worked. The second was that Raven, the older and favorite daughter, had made it quite obvious as soon as she could manage that she wanted him for herself. And Raven could be very ruthless when she wanted something. Just a whiff that Simon was actually interested in Dreama could set manipulated events that would make life uncomfortable for the younger woman. That was the reason why, on social gatherings when both of them were there, he avoided being near Dreama for too long, in case Raven noticed that he was interested in being more than a friend to her younger sister.
    Yes, truly. Raven could be such a pain in the ass.
    Simon was still very much lost in thought, figuring out how he was going to find time being with Dreama without Raven there, when the phone on his desk buzzed.
    Hitting a button on it, he said, “Yes, Rosalyn?”
    “Simon, Ms. Addison is here to see you,” Rosalyn said over the message system.
    “Wonderful, Rosalyn! Send her in!”
    Simon jumped up from behind his desk with a decided spring in his step as he hurried to the door. Whipping it open to greet her, he had to adjust the disappointed look on his face when he saw who it was.
    “Ah, Raven,” he said.
    “Well, yes, Simon,” the woman said to him. “Who did you think it was?”
    “I knew it was you,” he lied as he allowed her to hug him.
    “Oh, did you think my lovely sister just dropped by?” Raven said archly.
    “No, I knew it wasn’t Dreama.”
    Even as Simon lied to Raven, he did his best to hide that fact. But he had a feeling that he wasn’t fooling her in the least.
    So Raven had heard that Dreama had been dropping by recently. There was no doubt that she was here today to find out how he liked being visited by her sister.
    He did think Dreama would be here today, had actually thought this was true when Rosalyn said a Miss Addison was outside his office door. Since Dreama started assisting Holli in her wedding preparations, the younger woman would sometimes be near enough the office that she would drop by to visit her father, peeking into his office a few times, too, before she would leave for a restaurant or for the castle to meet Holli.
    Raven tilted her beautiful head to the side a bit, her long black hair swinging. Her dark eyes flashed at him in disbelief, but she kept her thoughts to herself. Instead, she laid a well-manicured hand on his arm. “I thought we could have lunch together, if you don’t have any plans,” she said.
    “Um, sure, I’d like that,” he said.
