“Are you staring at my ass again?” I admonish over my shoulder. “My ass,” he whispers, and gently slaps it with his free hand. I jump, turning my head to mouth curse words at him. Aiden cautions, “Joy, watch—” I turn too late, running directly into someone. Luckily, they catch me before I fall. I look up to see Gabriel, one of the glitch reapers smiling down at me. He is kind of cute. Only kind of, because I still remember that he enjoys dried grapes. The monster. “So sorry, Gabriel!” I say. He lets go of me, and shyly takes a step back. He smiles. “No problem at all, Joyce.”
