Chapter 75

"Seek to be whole, not perfect." 

*********************

Zamiel watched Heaven stuff the food in the in her mouth. She ate without breathing in between and even used water to help swallow the food without chewing it completely. Watching her eat like that was both worrisome and satisfying at the same time. He just hoped she wouldn't choke on it. 

"Take your time." He told. 

She looked up at him and swallowed what was in her mouth. "I don't have time. I want to see mother before I go back to Valish. I am sure she has been worried." 

Heaven always had her mother in mind. She was very protective of her. Zamiel didn't know anything about having parents, but he knew mother's held a dear place in many people's hearts. He wondered what it would feel like to have one. 

She stuffed the last bit of meat into her mouth and then looked at him. "Why are you not eating?"
