    Summary

    ‘Is that our Stevie boy back on the line?’

    ‘Hi, Eddie.’

    ‘Hey, man. You called at the same time as the other two nights. Can I ask, is that on purpose, or are you on a schedule?’

    ‘I uh, I don’t think I noticed.’

    ‘Ah, playing it cool, are you?’

    ‘Hardly.’

    ‘We got a Stevie Snort, another glorious first for the Late Side. What’s happening tonight, man?’

    ‘Can’t sleep.’

    ‘No good dreams to be had?’

    ‘Not for a really long time.’

    Summary

    As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:

    --His clothing was expensive and stylish;
    --He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
    --His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
    --He looked angry;
    --He was wearing sunglasses.

    What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?

    Summary

    It's a square gem in an antique gold setting, real antique gold, with the sort of dullness to the metal that tells its age. There's nothing particularly ornate about it. The ruby itself is a simple cut – he’s not a jeweller, doesn’t know what to call it precisely, but it’s square-ish and bevelled at the edges – but it catches the light in such a way that it makes it seem like it has a thousand facets all across the surface of it. The rain creates a stippled effect, and even through two separate panes of glass Hob can see his reflection peering back at himself through the ruby’s deep face. £2500, says a placard set in front of it. Early 1900s RUBY pendant - real!!!

    In 1989, drunk and heartsore and stumbling home from the soon-to-be-destroyed White Horse, Hob Gadling -- world's most loyal hound -- comes across a familiar-looking ruby in a pawn shop window.

    Summary

    They only discovered that kissing had been invented - and tried and tested - fifty and a hundred years later, respectively, and had both initially thought it looked more uncomfortable than anything. Now, though. He’s seen humans in love, disgustingly in love, who it’d take all the combined forces of Heaven and Hell to separate, who have kissed each other as if air from the other is the only thing that would do anymore. It certainly hadn’t seemed uncomfortable for them.

    It doesn’t seem too uncomfortable to Crowley, right now. The longer this split second drags, while Aziraphale smiles at him as if he’s something worth smiling at, the angel’s lips are starting to look like the most comfortable place on Earth.

    Crowley has wanted to kiss Aziraphale for hundreds of years. Now that he’s done it wrong, he’d rather not think about it anymore. Aziraphale is a different story entirely.
