The angel's share. It's what distillers call the amount of spirits lost to evaporation from the barrel as the whiskey ages. Every way of life has a cost for doing business, which Marianne understands. Maybe better than most. She's the bartender and manager of The Forlorn Hope and den mother to many a young edg- erunner.

And what's a small favor for a friend?
