It was getting ridiculous. After finishing my shift at the diner, I spent three hours in Egnand—Lucifer's realm—learning more about my abilities.

I pulled on my uniform, wincing at the state of my reflection in the mirror. Dark circles under my eyes, hair a mess—it was like my body was screaming, "You need a vacation!"
