\u201cFirst, you take your shirt off, I believe,\u201d Summer commented, brushing a fingertip over the edge of the medallion he held. \u201cI know you can buy new ones, but all the same.\u201d Pushing herself upright, she plucked it from his hand. \u201cAs for how it works \u2026 you wear it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

At the first instruction, he cast a glance out the nearest window, one eyebrow raised.\u00a0 \u201cI have to go topless in this weather?\u201d he asked wryly.\u00a0 Or he would have to creatively mangle a couple shirts and figure out how to thread his wings through them.\u00a0 Preferably without destroying anything.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cWell, at least don\u2019t have on a shirt you like right now?\u201d she offered. \u201cIt\u2019s up to you, I suppose, if you want to ruin others. Or we could spend the wing time somewhere warmer \u2026 is Venice warmer than New York in the winter? I think I was promised Venice some time ago.\u201d Summer spread the chain over her hands, ready to drop it over his head.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Tony reached up, catching her hands before she could drop the chain.\u00a0 \u201cFirst of all, we can\u2019t just hare off to Venice.\u00a0 I\u2019ve tried that; I got told that work comes first.\u00a0 And I wasn\u2019t even in charge at the time.\u00a0 Secondly, does the twelve days start as soon as I put it on or what?\u00a0 Can I retract the wings, or are they just gonna come sprouting out?\u201d\u00a0 That seemed like something important to know, considering the (admittedly cluttered) coffee table was behind him.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Summer pouted at him. “It’s Christmas, we can’t just \/go\/? Oh, well,” she surrendered, “maybe another time.” She squeezed his hands, sat back and folded her legs lotus style. “It’s controlled by wearing it. When you wear it, you have wings. The first time you put it on, the magic is activated, and it runs out in twelve days, whether or not you wear it between,” she explained. “I suppose you could wait to use it.” She glanced away, smiling a little. “I only thought you would want to right away.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
