His answering smile was brittle, threatening to come apart as he shook his head. “No, kiddo. No it’s not enough. But I’ll do it. I’ll help you get the rings.” Lucifer won. He got what he wanted. Even if he wound up in the Cage again, he’d done what he’d set out to do in that hotel.
And Sam was still fighting it, still finding ways to turn it around so he didn’t win. Gabriel was going to lose him in the end, one way or the other. The smart thing would be to shut it all down, tuck away those feelings and ignore them. He’d done the same when he fled Heaven, but this time he didn’t have it in him. Gabriel couldn’t pretend that what he felt for Sam wasn’t there, especially after what had happened.
Gabriel nodded. “Okay. I.. I’d like that Sam.” Because he’d stay. He’d stay right until the bitter end if Sam wanted him to. “There’s a diner up the street. Coffee?”
