Archangel Gabriel knew something was wrong. Aziraphale and Crowley hadn't let him visit Eden at all today and all he could do was sit on the cold hallway floor with his back against the wall and worry, feeling absolutely helpless.
"I wish I could get a better look at the snow." Eden murmured as she glanced at her bedroom window watching the thick snowflakes fall from the sky. "I can't believe that I won't get to see Epping covered in snow this year."
"Eden dear you need to get some rest." Aziraphale said softly, all of his other attempts to distract Eden had failed but when Crowley miracled snowflakes to fall in Eden's room, it seemed to cheer her up a bit.
"I miss going outside...." Eden murmured sadly as she held a handful of snowflakes.
Crowley cut in, "And you will as soon as you are strong enough, we'll take you out to the garden and-"
"See the stars? The real ones?"
Crowley nodded. "Of course, love." His voice cracked as he snapped his fingers and her room filled with dozens of tiny glowing stars. "I'll take you to our stargazing place as soon as you get better, I promise you." His eyes stung with tears as Eden smiled at the sight of the stars that lit up her room.
