Jamie glanced at her notes. So let's be honest, Jacks, can we? What is the best part of being an Angel? Is it the lifestyle? Is it the parties? The fame? What's your favourite part? Just having this chance, he said after considering. And what chance is that? Jamie asked. Jacks's blue eyes twinkled. The chance to be a hero.

Don't be frightened, Jacks said, sounding worried. It's just me. I'm sorry, I so didn't mean for that to sound creepy. Let me start over.
