[Call to Gabriel]

[rae_of_sun]

[Sunshine is a hell of a lot more dubious about this than Aziraphale would probably like, but given the circumstances, she's also in no position to argue. Her voice isn't even close to being steady when the phone is finally picked up.]

Gabriel?

[He doesn't recognize the number right away, but he does recognize the voice when it comes over the line. He'd thought she'd be the last person calling him, but the waver in her voice points to something far more important than a social call]

Is it- Sunshine, right? What's up?

[rae_of_sun]

Yeah. [Her words are clipped, less because of any unfriendly feelings she might have towards Gabriel, and more because she's determined not to burst into tears over the phone. They don't have that kind of time to waste.] Can you come to Aziraphale's bookshop? He's hurt. He said you could help.

[has_a_horn]

[a brief horrified pause] I'll be there in a minute.

[rae_of_sun]

Thank you. [Her voice cracks halfway through the phrase, but at least it's there.]
