Lost Archangel Quote by Courtney Allison Moulton
““You found her. Excellent. That'd be awkward if we handed out 'lost archangel' posters all over town. No one would take us seriously, for God's sake. They'd arrest us!" "Ethan." Will mumbled disapprovingly. "Well, they'd arrest you first," he continued, pointing at Will. "You're far more shady-looking than I. The tattoos. That's what it is.””
