A quote from Sins of the Angel

Before she could attack me again I followed up my advantage.  ‘I'm sorry.  I know that you've been hurt.  But, it was Dr Matthews... Dr M...'

She looked at me astounded, perhaps ready to hear a message from me instead of Dr M.

‘Look,' I said, ‘he was a bastard.  An uptight misogynist.  You didn't deserve what he did to you.  The way he treated you.'

She ignored me.  ‘Do you really hate women so much?  Is that why you did this to me?'  She gestured down to her body as if there was something to be seen, and yet she looked like any other forty-something woman.

I couldn't understand what was going on.  The conversation kept changing too quickly.  What had Dr M done to her appearance?  ‘Please, you must understand.  I'm not ...  I'm not the same person I used to be.'

‘You have changed since that attack.'  She sneered.  ‘You've become pathetic.'

‘No.  It's more important than that.'

‘Okay, so what happened to you?'  Tears were now flowing freely down her cheeks.

It was time to tell her everything, but I was a bit nervous.  She was so angry.  What would she do to me?  How would she react?  ‘Dr M died,' I said.  ‘I came instead.  I... I'm an angel.'
