flying together, and they seem so happy and perfect. It's what I've dreamed of since I was born, and it's painted on my very own ceiling.
“This is your new home; it's where all the Angel s live during their three year stay. Each condo houses four Angel s, or two couples,” he smiles. “However you want to look at it. I hope it’s to your liking.”
“It’s so beautiful...It's absolutely...perfect.” I turn in slow circles taking it all in. A huge balcony with tall, wooden double doors draws my attention. It's open to reveal a spectacular view of the city...from the twenty first floor. There is no rail around it either, just a short ledge, about two feet high. When we learn how to fly, this will be how we enter and exit, I instinctively know it.
“It's everything I always thought it would be! It’s amazing!” Kaia runs to me and shakes me, she is so excited.
“Well, I will leave you two to get settled but meet me in the Lobby in one hour so I can take you to your job introduction.” He turns to leave with a formal bow and then we are left to get changed and settled into our new room.
Kaia runs over to one of the rooms and I go to the other one. They each have heavy white double doors with large gold handles.
“I’ll take this room!” she yells from across the condo.
“Alright, that’s fine,” I consent. My room is huge and right in the center of the room is a huge, wooden poster bed with white curtains on each post. I walk over to the closet and to my amazement it’s bigger than my room back home. There are two sides, one for me and one for my future husband. I know this because they already have several different clothes hanging up for us. I can’t believe the selection of shoes that I now have. They definitely want us to dress up because there’s not one pair of jeans or sandals. All wedges, heels and dresses of all types. I can do this , I tell myself as look through the clothes and find what I’m going to wear to the job introduction.

In the Lobby, one hour later, I am dressed to impress, or so I think. I have on a light blue mini skirt with white suede knee high boots, and a soft white silk shirt that makes my dark hair stand out. They must have known exactly what sizes we wore, because the clothes they provided fit both of us perfectly.
I don’t usually wear makeup, but Kaia made me put on some eyeliner and mascara for this little fiasco. She thinks we need to look our best because our husbands will be there somewhere.
We wait for Aeron off to the side and I bite my fingernails because I'm anxious. “You two clean up nicely,” a familiar voice wrests me from my bad habit.
“Thanks,” I say as blood rushes to my face. I've never had an outfit this nice, so I don't really wear it proudly enough. Kaia winks at him and curtsies, as comfortable as ever in expensive clothes.
“Well, if you're ready, follow me.” He turns and starts walking in the direction of the exit.
We follow him outside to the awaiting rotojet.
“Until you learn how to fly, this will be your means of transportation, unless, something is close enough to walk to, of course.”
We nod our heads in understanding, get on and sit in the same seats next to the window, awaiting the beautiful view.

“I put in a good word for both of you with the Overlord .” Aeron says when the rotojet lands. “He says he'll match you with the highest ranking male Angel s.”
The Overlord is the founder of the domain. He brought the few creatures that survived the war together to start anew. Bit by bit they molded our crumbling planet into a small bit of hope; a fresh start. He thinks this entitles him and his authorities to control us in every aspect of our lives.
“Thanks, Aeron. That was really magnanimous of you.” Kaia flirts, trying to use big words. She's always thought that the way to get a guy's attention was to be smart. She said her mother used to tell her that to get her to study, so that
