"I have only and will only want Dean," he says with complete confidence. "I want him in whatever capacity he will allow me to have him. We have not discussed in what capacity he wants me but I do trust him. I trust him to be faithful and I can be happy whether or not he loves me in the way that I love him."

He takes a deep breath at that, willing it to be true before offering Ishiah a small smile. "Congratulations, in advance. I think very highly of Robin, as unlikely as our friendship would seem to be. It is odd to have this conversation with another angel. Discussing love and feelings."
