(I wasn't actually going to make one for this book but... then I realized I had left out such an important scene with everyone's fav character and I was just like... how could I do such a thing??? So yeah... Epilogue hehehehe)

Roman stood there staring into the bathroom mirror, a worried look in his obsidian eyes. His medium-length shaggy hair laid wet and mused against his neck, as he leaned against the sink with a sigh. 

"Ro?" Roman blinked hearing the bathroom door open as Virgil glanced in with a small smile. "Is everything ok?"

"Of course." Roman lulled, his voice smooth as if carried by the wind, but it did nothing to help calm the human, who knew the angel pushed his charms more when he was troubled. Virgil's eyes only darkened in response making Roman's eyes flash white. "Come on, Mi Amor... Trust me." Roman pushed the songful lull even more making Virgil literally shiver under the sensation of magic swirling around him. Even still Virgil just glared the angel down since Roman wasn't really trying to influence him. It was just an automatic thing he did when he was stressed or worried. Roman crashed as he practically went limp against the sink knowing there was no getting out of it. "I'm fine, Virgil." And with that... the lull was gone showing just how stressed Roman really was. "I'm just anxious is all."

"Is it because of..." Virgil trailed off, his eyes darting over Roman's body, making the angel chuckle and shake his head. Virgil watched as Roman grabbed the brush to brush out all the snarls in his soaked hair.

"No, it's not because of my new... or well old body." Roman smiled before shaking his head fast making his hair fly about as he magically dried it, revealing all those curls that framed his face. "Ash, Fiona, and I made sure to alter everyone's memories of me. The only ones who know the truth... are the ones that matter."

"And yet you're still worried," Virgil whispered as he wrapped his arms around Roman, making the angel melt into him with a purr.

"It's not because of school, Mi Flor. I promise. The last thing I'm concerned about is whether or not some random teacher notices my sudden change in skin tone." Roman laughed as he turned around to meet Virgil's worried gaze. "I know you're just as anxious about us going back to school."

"Roman, you looked completely different..."

"They won't know that. Only those who matter will. You, me... Thomas and Remus... our friends... that's it. No one else. I promise you." Virgil frowned under all the anxiety as Roman pressed a soft kiss to his forehead.

"Then why are you worried?" Roman's eyes flashed as he deflated a bit making Virgil's frown only grow. "Roman?"

"You'll understand once we get there." Virgil tensed up at how forced Roman's words were. "There's just something... I needed to do."

"What?"

"Something I should have done while ago... and just never did." Roman smiled sadly as he brushed Virgil's hair back. "It's ok, Virgil. This is on me and me alone."

"Ro-..."

"We're going to be late if we keep talking." Roman quickly cut him off, the songful lull back into his voice, as he took Virgil's hand and pressed a kiss to his knuckles. "Go get your bag. I'll fly us today." Roman's eyes shimmered as he let his wings show. "I need to spread my wings a bit."

As the two finally touched down beside the school, Roman using a glamour to hide themselves in plain sight, it was clear just how nervous Roman was as his wings ruffled from all the tension. Roman grimaced, his eyes flashing white as he tried to force himself to take a deep breath and let his wings shimmer away. People passed by and the glamour fell, letting everyone around them finally notice their presence as Roman just held Virgil close.
