I got up from my nap. "Mom?"

She was beside me in an instant. "Honey?"

"Mom… I want to go back."

-flashback-

"Years?" I had asked.

"Yes, it's been years since you died. You can always go back." My mom had caressed my cheek.

"How many years?" I had asked, a little afraid of the answer.

"Three years." She had sounded proud, yet sad.

"Does… does Tobias have a girlfriend?"

My mom had shaken her head, and there was a hand on her shoulders. It was father.

"He was too heartbroken about your death." He had told me. "Now he tries to drink away the pain."

Uriah had patted my back. "But he never goes farther! Zeke takes care of that!"

He then had yelped, and I realized that Marlene had swatted his shoulder. (I smiled at the memory)

"What have I been doing, these three years?" I had sounded a bit angry.

"Different things, Tris. You learned to fly with your wings. Bake cookies. Swim."

I had. I had flown with my angel wings. And I swam in the river, that was neither hot or cold, but the perfect temperature. Such was the life of an Angel.

Because I was an angel.

"Let – let me think about it. I'll give you my answer tomorrow." My voice had been shaken.

But it was firm, now.

-end of flashback-

"Tris, when you go back, you will still have your angel wings, for you will still be an angel."

"But… Tobias and I…"

She smirked. "Ah, yes. You will play. I expect that an angel should not have to go on birth control… Well, we have talked to Marlene, and we are coming with you."

I nodded. I was expecting that. But I blushed at her birth control remark.

"We will leave this evening. Marlene, Uriah, your father and I will head back to the house. You can go to the bar. You'll find Tobias there."

I nodded again and went to the kitchen.

"I want pancakes." I told the empty table. Immediately they came. I smiled. Such was the life of an angel.

I wondered if it was like that for Angels, back on earth. For some reason, I knew it would be.

"Wait for me, Tobias." I murmured, looking down where earth was. "I'm coming."
