It was saddening to see her so naive to the celestial plans that hinged on her becoming the wife of a creature such as he. However, what nearly brought Danyeal to tears even more was that his Father would let a wondrously delightful creature such as she die in what amounted to the blink of an eye. He had watched over her for days, seeing how she held up against the doctors' constant battery of tests. He saw how she refused to openly break when delivered the horrific news of her imminent demise. Now, here he was watching her fight against every instinct to just run from him because she thought that she might hurt him. It was a true tragedy to bear witness to, but the angel held firm and refused to let his own emotions get the better of him for fear that she would think of his kindness as pity.<br/><br/>Thankfully that did not seem to be an issue, for even though she hesitated she had acquiesced to his offer. The weight that had bore down on him while awaiting her response did not lessen however. In fact it seemed to increase even more and Danyeal pondered for a moment on just how mankind handled those feelings on an everyday basis. They truly were a magnificent creation, capable of such strength in the face of adversity, and he could not help but admire them. The question she posed made him realize that he had not fully thought through his approach, and even though he had watched over the earthly realm from on high he had no clue as to what the purpose of a movie was. Still, she had suggested it as an option and he figured if it was good enough for her then it would do nicely for their date.<br/><br/>"Yes," he said to her with a nervous smile, "I think that would be a fine idea Kimberly." He wondered if there was anything more to discuss when the thought occurred to him that he had no means of transporting her to and from their destinations. "I hope you do not mind if we take the bus for our evening out. I am embarrassed to admit that I do not know how to drive. It has never been a skill that I required, so I do hope you will forgive me that."<br/><br/>Danyeal realized that he was beginning to babble and quickly stopped talking. Surely she would be fine with his inability to operate a motor vehicle. That wasn't going to be the issue that ruined his hastily planned mission was it? To think that not knowing which pedal was which could spell disaster for the whole of Creation. It was the epitome of tragedy and comedy both, and the angel mused at what Aristotle would make of such a thing. Perhaps he would ask the philosopher himself when he was allowed to return home.<br/><br/>Standing from his seat he nodded his head to the beauty that sat before him. "If our plans are to your liking then, I can meet you at the nearest bus stop by your home once you have been released. Of course, I would ask your permission to check your files for your home address if that is acceptable?" He awaited her answer before leaving her room with the excuse of needing to check on other patients.<br/><br/>Out in the hallway Danyeal breathed a sigh of relief that things had progressed as well as they had. He had successfully connected with Kimberly and the courting had begun in the form of a date. There did not seem to be anything that would disturb the celestial plan. Little did he know that in the shadows of an unused patient room across the hall a figure stood grinning in silent watch over the interactions between an angel and a human...
