Chapter 160: Chapter 160: For The Sake Of Creation

I guess the fact I even tried, that I let them see how big and effort I made, was the difference. I did wonder, however, if Peter's loss was not the giant blow to our relationship I was expecting or if the Angels had some heretofore unrevealed deception hidden up their mail-clad sleeves.
