She had been an angel for coming up on 10 years and in all that time nobody had told her this was possible. The fact that it could ever happen never even entered her mind. Yet there she stood, with the undeniable evidence sitting on the ground before her. Angels could lose their wings.
There was something special about this little creature. Donna couldn't quite pinpoint what it was, but she knew with all her heart that it was true.
