The library is here. But Arriane’s right. We’ll need to figure out the way in.” “I heard you need an Announcer to get through one,” Arriane said. “Cosmic legend.” Annabelle shook her head. “Every Patina is different. Access is entirely up to the creator. They program the code.” “I once heard Cam tell a story at a party about how he accessed a Patina,” Rolan said. “Or was that a story about a party that he threw in a Patina?” “Luce!” Daniel said suddenly, making all of them startle in midair. “It’s you. It was always you.” Luce shrugged. “Always me what?” “You’re the one who always rang the bell. You’re the one who had entry to the library. You just need to ring the bell.” Luce looked at the empty street, the fog tinting everything around them brown. “What are you talking about? What bell?” “Close your eyes,” Daniel said. “Remember it. Pass into the past and find the bellpull-“ Luce was already there, back at the library the last time she’d been in Vienna with Daniel. Her feet were firmly on the ground. It was raining and her hair splayed all across her face. Her crimson hair ribbons were soaked, but she didn’t care. She was looking for something. There was a short path up the courtyard, then a dark alcove outside the library. It had been cold outside, and a fire blazed within. There, in the musty corner near the door, was a woven cord embroidered with white peonies hanging from a substantial silver bell. She reached into the air and pulled. The angels gasped. Luce opened her eyes. There, in the center of the north side of the street, the row of contemporary town houses was interrupted at its midpoint by a single small brown house. A curl of smoke rose from its chimney. The only light-aside from the angel’s wings-was the dim yellow glow of a lamp on the sill of the house’s front window. The angels landed softly on the empty street and Daniel’s grip around Luce softened. He kissed her hand. “You remembered. Well done.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Lauren Kate" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/lauren-kate/very-few-entities-are-powerful-enough-to-create-patinas-and-those/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/730/lauren-kate-636_angel_very-few-entities-are-powerful-enough-to_296135.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/730/lauren-kate-636_angel_very-few-entities-are-powerful-enough-to_296135.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/730/lauren-kate-636_angel_very-few-entities-are-powerful-enough-to_296135.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Very few entities are powerful enough to create Patinas, and those that can guard them closely.

Daniel blushed. \"I guess that was stupid. But I was in a hurry, only thinking about what you would need to get the halo.\" He drove the paddle back into the water, propelling them more quickly than a speedboat. \"You can swim in your underwear, right?\" Now Luce blushed. Under normal circumstances, the question might have seemed thrilling, something they both would have giggled at. Not these nine days. She nodded. Eight days now. Daniel was deadly serious. Luce just swallowed hard and said, \"Of course.\" The pair of green-gray spires grew larger, more detailed, and then they were upon them. They were tall and conical, made of rusted slats of copper. They had once been capped by small teardrop-shaped copper flags sculpted to look like they were rippling in the wind, but one weathered flag was pocked with holes, and the other had broken off completely. In the open water, the spires' protrusion was bizarre, suggesting a cavernous cathedral of the deep. Luce wondered how long ago the church had sunk, how deep it sat below. The thought of diving down there in ridiculous goggles and mom-bought underwear made her shudder. \"This church must be huge,\" she said. She meant I don't think I can do this. I can't breathe underwater. How are we going to find one small halo sunk in the middle of the sea? \"I can take you down as far as the chapel itself, but only that far. So long as you hold on to my hand.\" Daniel extended a warm hand to help Luce stand up in the gondola. \"Breathing will not be a problem. But the church will still be sanctified, which means I'll need you to find the halo and bring it out to me.\" Daniel yanked his T-shirt off over his head, dropping it to the bench of the gondola. He stepped out of his pants quickly, perfectly balanced on the boat, then kicked off his tennis shoes. Luce watched, feeling something stir inside her, until she realized she was supposed to be stripping down, too. She kicked off her boots, tugged off her socks, stepped out of her jeans as modestly as she could. Daniel held her hand to help her balance; he was watching her but not the way she would have expected. He was worried about her, the goose bumps rising on her skin. He rubbed her arms when she slipped off he sweater and stood freezing in her sensible underwear n the gondola in the middle of the Venetian lagoon. Again she shivered, cold and fear an indecipherable mass inside her. But her voice sounded brave when she tugged the goggles, which pinched, down over her eyes and said, \"Okay, let's swim.\" They held hands, just like they had the last time they'd swum together at Sword & Cross. As their feet lifted off the varnished floor of the gondola, Daniel's hand tugged her upward, higher than she ever could have jumped herself-and then they dove. Her body broke the surface of the sea, which wasn't as cold as she'd expected. In fact, the closer she swam beside Daniel, the warmer the wake around them grew. He was glowing.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Lauren Kate" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/lauren-kate/goggles-but-no-bathing-suit-she-asked-daniel-blushed-i-guess-that-was/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/4c2/lauren-kate-636_bathing-suit_goggles-but-no-bathing-suit-she-asked-da_778176.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/4c2/lauren-kate-636_bathing-suit_goggles-but-no-bathing-suit-she-asked-da_778176.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/4c2/lauren-kate-636_bathing-suit_goggles-but-no-bathing-suit-she-asked-da_778176.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Goggles but no bathing suit?\" she asked.

As he truly is.\" Her voice shook. \"He was so beautiful.\" \"Oh, that. \" Bill tossed his head, annoyed. \"I recognized him.I think I've seen him before.\" \"Doubt it.\" Bill coughed. \"That was the first and last time you'll be able to see him like that.You saw him, and then you died.That's what happens when mortal flesh looks upon an angel's unbridled glory. Instant death. Burned away by the angel's beauty.\" \"No,it wasn't like that.\" \"You saw what happened to everyone else. Poof . Gone.\" Bill plopped down beside her and patted her knee. \"Why do you think the Mayans started doing sacrifices by fire after that? A neighboring tribe discovered the charred remains and had to explain it somehow.\" \"Yes,they burst into flames right away. But I lasted longer-\" \"A couple of extra seconds? When you were turned away? Congratulations.\" \"You're wrong.And I know I've seen that before.\" \"You've seen his wings before, maybe.But Daniel shedding his human guise and showing you his true form as an angel? Kills you every time.\" \"No.\" Luce shook her head. \"You're saying he can never show me who he really is?\" Bill shrugged. \"Not without vaporizing you and everyone around you.Why do you think Daniel's so cautious about kissing you all the time?

Because.\" He paced the ledge, gnashing his teeth. \"Listen to me: Daniel slipped up this once, he showed himself,but he never does that again.Never.He learned his lesson.

A warm brush of fingertips traveled up her arms as a firm chest pressed against her back. Daniel. She could sense his glow without even turning. She closed her eyes. His arms wrapped around her waist and his soft lips swept across her neck, stopping just below her ear. \"I found you,\" he whispered. She turned slowly in his arms. The sight of him took her breath away. He was still her Daniel, of course, but his skin was the color of rich hot chocolate,and his wavy black hair was cropped very short. He wore only a short linen loincloth,leather sandals, and a silver choker around his neck. His deep-set violet eyes swept over her, happy. He and Layla were deeply in love. She rested her cheek on his chest and counted the beats of his heart. Would this be the last time she did this,the last time he held her against his heart? She was about to do the right thing-the good thing for Daniel. But still it pained her to think about it. She loved him! If this journey had taught her anything, it was how much she truly loved Daniel Grigori. It hardly seemed fair that she was forced to make this decision. Yet here she was. In ancient Egypt.
