Lightning-Dono: I'll reply to your guys' reviews later, but since I'm swamped with work from school, I'm coming on to update. I might do a chapter a week, which is pathetic, but I'm trying. xD I am so sorry for the long wait…

Kai presented Jill with a gorgeous porcelain doll of absolutely perfect proportions; large enough to fit on the coffee table but not big enough to place on the floor and make it seem noticeable.
Needless to say, Jill was thrilled. It had cherry, blushing cheeks, perfectly curled eyelashes and a touch of light blue eye shadow to accentuate her sapphire orbs. But the one thing that stuck out the most to her were the layers of feathery blonde hair shrouding a pair of milky white wings flecked with silver.
"She's beautiful," Jill breathed into Kai's ear as she pecked his cheek. "She's such a little angel." She smiled, pursing her lips in a perfect imitation of her miniature porcelain counterpart.
The tan young man before her seemed slightly abashed as he watched his girlfriend.
"What's wrong? Come on, this is a happy thing! I really do love it!" To prove this to him, she pulled the doll into a heartfelt embrace.
The wings promptly cracked off from the pressure she placed on them.
In quick response to this, Jill grabbed the wings from the floor and helplessly tried to put them back on.
"I am so sorry!" She cried out in despair. "So sorry, I'm so stupid…"
Jill's expression fell into that of one who had created some heinous crime as the realization dawned upon her that it wasn't going to be fixed.
Not today.
Not the next day.
Not ever.
Kai wasn't as disappointed about the doll as he was disappointed at the fact that Jill was taking this so hard. Extending the crook of his arm around her shoulder, he smiled comfortingly.
"Think about it this way," he told her. "She is your little angel, with or without the wings."
"But angels-,"
Kai shook his head, interrupting her.
"And you are my angel, such as she is yours, no matter how many times you may change yourself."
