    Summary

    It’s unseasonably warm for East Finchley in late December, but his breath still leaves puffs in the chilly air. It’s also cloudy, and already full dark at 17:00, so there aren’t any stars to look at and the moon isn’t visible. Pity.

    Just then - a bright flash lights up from the back garden next door. It’s a man, standing in front of a free-standing fire pit, having just lit a fire. The warm glow illuminates his face in profile and Crowley leans on the railing to get a better look. White-blond curly hair puffs up around his head like a halo. The firelight silhouettes a cute upturned nose, a sturdy frame wrapped in a thick cardigan. Crowley can practically see his eyelashes from here. He’s beautiful.

    “Oi! You there! Got a light?” Crowley shouts across at him.

    The man turns in his direction, obviously not able to see him in the shadows. “Me?”

    “Yeah, you!”

    The man turns to look at the fire in front of him, then back to peer into the shadows again, “If you need, I suppose?”

    “Excellent!”
