It always has been
“If you give this to me, you will die,” he told her. “Do you understand that?” “Yes,” she whispered. “I could have died plenty of times in this manor. But I love—” “No. Listen to me
“I love you,” she whispered. “I love you so much. You saved me. So many times, in so many ways, and it barely took you a week to change me so intrinsically. I may never be rid of my inner demons, but for this single sliver of time, whenever we were together, you made them quiet. I was able to hear myself for once.

Now that I’m free, I will carry the memories of this time with you forevermore. The matter of my soul will always have your name etched into it.

“Devil.” “Angel,”
She kissed him then, long and slow, reveling in the little piece of heaven she saved from the dark depths of Hell.
