With one last look at where her mirror had been Celeste trailed after her father on their way to the high court. The older angels in the court never explained anything very clearly and she didn't want to sit through another meeting when she could be watching her love.

On the very highest region of the clouds the court had mostly gathered. Some angels were late, as usual. Celeste and her father took their seats and waited quietly for the meeting to begin. Celeste didn't let her worry show on her face, that would do her no good if she were to be asked what was wrong. Then she would have to make some scenario up and keep to it for as long as needed, and she didn't want to do that.

All the members of the court had gathered and were preparing to speak. *Good, the sooner this is done the sooner I can see what he is doing* Celeste thought to herself, glancing up and down the table. The eldest court member spoke first, his slow words rumbling on for a few minutes. He paused, looking straight at Celeste, "Our dear angel of love will, this day, be promoted to an Arch Angel. Celeste you no longer have be a guardian if you wish." he stopped, waiting for her reply. Celeste blinked, it was so sudden. She half nodded, paused and said "I greatly appreciate the promotion." Feeling her father's warm gaze she met his eyes and smiled. Yes she was happy to be an arch angel but she still wanted to go back to see if her love was alright.

When the meeting finally ended Celeste made to leave but was crowded by the other angels, congratulating her on the promotion. Celeste smiled and thanked them all, itching to leave but knowing that it would be rude to do so. They all eventually filed away, and Celeste's fake smile faded from her lips. She sighed gratefully when they had all left.

Making her way back down to her mirror quickly but not so to make the other angels think she was in a great hurry, Celeste half walked and half flew down through the clouds. When at last she made it to her mirror she uncovered it and searched for her love. Finding him Celeste sat contentedly watching his movements. Her promotion was already at the back of her mind, it was least important to her right then.
