    Summary

    Zee slipped back into his flat and closed the door quietly.

    This had been a mistake. He could feel the edges of his carefully pasted-together life starting to curl, exposing the raw undersides. It was a good thing he was near the end of his current manuscript, because he needed to be as shut-in as possible. Allow some distance between the conversation tonight and the next time he spoke with Crowley. Let the spark of this connection fizzle out before it took root.

    ***
    Zee (Aziraphale) Marsh is a widowed hermit who secretly writes bestselling romance novels under the pseudonym Bella Swansea. His life is rigorously controlled until his new downstairs neighbor arrives. Anthony Crowley causes something to come alive in Zee that he hasn't seen in over twenty years, but Crowley brings with him some of his own very dark secrets.
