Thank you to those who pointed out I originally posted the wrong chapter last time! Sorry about that, and I really hope I don't let that happen again!

Morning Two, Part Five
"Why me, though?" He asked as he rushes along side her.
"Why not, you?" She shoots back as she glides along her long black dress and cape flowing flawlessly behind her.
"I- well...I'm not anyone special…" he mutters, kicking a stray pebble in the road.
She stops short at that, causing him to bump into her as she blinks.
Once.
Twice.
Smack!
"What the-?!" He winces as he rubs over his abs, where she, despite her small stature, laid a solid punch.
"Ok, I understand it's the first day and you may be feeling overwhelmed. I get that, in all the years I've been doing this, no one has been fine with me suddenly appearing in their lives. Reactions have been mixed, and wide ranging, but let me tell you!" She poked at his abs, punctuating each statement with a jab, "no one has ever questioned why they deserve love. No one has ever uttered what you just said now. And let me tell you, you aren't special. You're a baker, in this tiny town, in the middle of Russia. Practically a nobody," she says softly, meeting his eyes with a surprisingly soft gaze despite her harsh words.
"But that doesn't mean you don't deserve love. Everyone deserves love. Do you understand me?"
He nods, part of him starting to buy into her words, the other part just not wanting to get hit again.
"Good!" She chirps as she starts walking along again, "I know we're nearing the bakery now and - oh good! She's here already!"
The angel watches with a delighted look as the raven maned woman unlocks the back door to the bakery, the man, partially horrified.
"No," he states firmly, "not-"
"Dimka!"
Guys, did I ever say that the man was Dimitri? :)
Until next time, may you have a nice day/night wherever you may be! And please, be kind to one another.
