Quote:
He shifted on his heel, looking down the hall behind him and then back at her. “Volkov is protected by old magick,” he told her. “It’s long been a sanctuary to my clan. To me.”
Gwen’s little smile fell away, and she slowly came up to stand in front of him, her chest fluttering. “It’s beautiful,” she told him, hoping he could sense how much she meant it. “I see why you like being here so much.”
His expression was steeled, but there was a touch of something in his eyes. “It’s not what you were expecting?”
She smirked sheepishly. “No. I get now why you got so annoyed when I called it spooky.”
Sirus’s gaze held on her face for a moment before he turned to continue down the hall. “We do get bats on occasion,” he confessed without even a hint of humor.
Gwen couldn’t help but smile as she followed behind him. Per usual, she couldn’t tell if he was being serious or funny. “How fitting,” she retorted with amusement, deciding she found it funny whether he’d intended it or not. “Then maybe it is a little spooky,” she teased.

“The Path to God’s Promise” is the chronicle of a Jewish woman’s epic journey of self-discovery and a call to each of us to look not only at our life’s path, but that of our planet.
