Good Omens (TV series)
Aziraphale splashed in the water with joy. He wasn’t enjoying it, regretting that he should cause anyone such intense terror. He had known Crowley long enough to appreciate that even the lowest demon was a being with feelings deserving of his compassion.
But he had also known Crowley long enough to know the demon’s eyes would sparkle with laughter when Aziraphale recounted events to him. How those who had been prepared to watch gleefully as he was erased from existence got a taste of what they had wished on him.
Aziraphale was privileged to see that sparkle, he relished it.
