"Jenny!?" Corey's jaw almost hit the floor. After her crazy obsession with angels, now she gets to spend the rest of her life with one? He couldn't be happier. "Are you going to tell her? Like now?"

Panuleon was amused by how excited he was. He seemed more excited than Zachariah.

"Perhaps I will give it a little more time. I was going to tell her until she tripped and nearly fell from a serious height. But after exchanging a few words, my nerves came back," Zachariah said as he noticed the kind look Panuleon was giving Corey. He couldn't help but smile at the love he clearly felt for him. He has looked into Panuleon's future and saw how unique and strong their bond was so he understands just how important it is for them to be so close.

"Okay, but soon?" Corey wanted nothing more than to watch Jenny finally find someone who can love her just as much as she'll love him. And the relationship will be nothing like she has ever experienced.

"Corey, I think when Zachariah is ready, he'll tell her. But I'm just as eager to see it happen. You both deserve a lot of happiness," Panuleon said softly.

Zachariah was just nervous about not being accepted. He didn't think Panuleon or his parents could be so forgiving for ruining their lives, but he can see now that Panuleon wouldn't want to live anywhere without Corey. And Samuel and Monica wouldn't want to live anywhere without their son. So in a way, it all worked out in the end.

"Does this mean you're leaving heaven?" Panuleon asked.

It's a big thing for an angel of higher power to come to earth in the first place, let alone running off with a human soulmate.

"Yes. Now that I have met Jenny, I can't leave her."

Corey couldn't stop thinking about how happy she would act when Zachariah admits his love to her.

"I think you should get used to being near her. So she can get used to you too," He said, making Zachariah nod in agreement.

"Yes, I shall do that," Zachariah smiled before walking in the direction of the two families.

"You're like Cupid," Panuleon chuckled.

"I can't help it," His soulmate grinned as they started following the angel of high power back down the grass.

Jenny was still explaining the story of how the angel had saved her life before Zachariah walked around the corner. He hovered for a moment, unsure about whether he should talk to her or not. He was nervous so he decided to talk to Panuleon's parents instead. They also need to get used to seeing him again.

"Come with me," Panuleon whispered into Corey's ear and delicately pulled him over to some rocks. They were poking out the top of the river and created a little island with stepping stones that lead back towards the picnic blanket.

Corey silently followed his angel over the rocks with a happy smile. He could feel the desperate need that Panuleon was experiencing to have him alone for a while. They were careful to avoid slipping because the water was at it's deepest. A few birds were perched on the rocks but to Corey's surprise, they didn't fly away. He keeps forgetting that nature loves Panuleon.

"It is nice to give you a hug without our parents staring for a little while," Panuleon smiled and pulled his soulmate into his chest. He has gotten used to his bare upper half.

"And they think we don't notice," Corey chuckled while looking back at his family sitting on the river bank.

The angel put an arm around his shoulders and an arm around his waist. Corey bit the inside of his lip as he turned back to face the beauty of his soulmate. Just like any angel, Panuleon is so striking to anyone who has the pleasure of meeting him. Which is why Corey can't take his eyes off him. But, it's not just about looks. There are so many things that are perfect about him that he can't describe.
