The deep cut in Eden's cheek had finally healed. Leaving a dark scar that was several shades darker than her pale skin. It was hard to ignore because her skin, which usually had a tannish hue to being in the sun, was now pale due to being inside for so long.
Once the gash in her cheek finally healed she had wondered if it would leave a scar….
It did and Eden hated it.
She hated how upset her parents and Gabriel would get whenever they would look at her….
It must be the scar. It had to be.
She wanted it gone so she asked her Papa if he could miracle it away….
Eden watched her Papa wave a hand over her scarred cheek, only to see his face fall with dismay.
"Papa?"
"I-I'm sorry…I'm so sorry…it's not working…." Aziraphale said tightly as he broke into a sob.
Crowley stepped in and tried. When his attempt failed his hand trembled and he had to clench his fist.
"We'll keep trying Queenie." Crowley rasped.
