Elise is dead because of me. I should have been more strict, should have been more protective, should have cared more… Now my ward is dead. It doesn’t matter that I wasn’t the one to pull that trigger. She killed herself and I wasn’t there to stop it. As her guardian angel, I failed and lost my wings as punishment. I’m content to drown myself in the bottom of a bottle until Elise’s twin sister comes around asking questions. Then everything changes. She is the one for me. She makes me hope again. I don’t deserve a second chance. Without my wings, I don’t have to look out for anyone but myself. But Sophie is different. I have to protect her, no matter the cost. Because at the end of the day, I will make her mine.
