"He's wrong, isn't he boy? I've already done the deed. I already lied." His kissed Frankie's nose. "I already lied to Michael but I can't be alone, I won't be. If I get punished anyway and he's not there..." He laid back and Frankie climbed onto his chest. "Uriel will be very cross if he finds out, I suspect, but I suppose it leaves me free to act on Pestilence. In for a penny, in for a pound." He closed his eyes. "So... he might be right. I wanted him to tell me that what I was doing was OK. That it was acceptable, that it would be all right.
But it isn't - and I still can't stop doing it. My fault, I suppose."
Frankie panted, barked and settled down on top of Raphael.
"But I won't be alone. I hate that more than anything. Don't you agree?"
Frankie barked in reply. And breathing in and out, Raphael willfully fell asleep.
